  • Though your life was short, it was full. Married and with two young children, giving your life to help others. You gave your life so that we, your family could be, could have a future. There is so much that I wish to know about you and hopefully one day I will. Though the sea divides your grave from me, you will never be forgot. (AWN 03.04.1919) Your great granddaughter Leisa
