Recently, my Uncle Legrande passed away. He was honored at the Veteran's Cemetery with full honors. I have never been to a military funeral. They played taps and presented my Aunt Vera with an American Flag. Uncle Legrande fought in WWII. It was a very nice funeral. This is all that is left of my Dad's family. My Aunt Vera is not pictured. But this is it. The circle of life is a funny thing. I think we don't ever think we will get to this point. What a wonderful family I have and what great examples they are to me. I am grateful for all their service to this country. My dad's 3 older brothers served in WWII all in the Pacific Ocean. My Uncle Merlin received a Purple Heart for his service. He passed away a few year ago. Uncle Gene who is pictured here has Alzheimer's and I'm not sure if he knew where he was at. What a sweet man. He so looks and acts like my Grandpa Chatterton. I am grateful for my heritage and love all my family. Family Is Everything.
