Photo Hunt--In Memory

My Mom-------
This is the burial place of my Grandfather and Grandmother Orlowsky; we assume she is buried above him. They were Lithuanian and came through Ellis Island during 1907-08. Grandfather came first then Grandmother. They died long before I was born and have a special place in my heart.

Wonderful memories. Perfect.

I can't get into word press to let them know that I am up. Don't know what's wrong today. Happy Mother's Day Weekend.

Hope that this Photo Hunt got you revisiting fond, not just sad, memories of your mom. And thanks for sharing the interesting notion that your grandmother may be buried above your grandfather!
