Grandparents

Pattsy and Jack Dayley

Hazel and Jack Gilson

I am very fortunate because I have been able to get to know all of my grandparents. I don't see them as often as I would like these days, but I have wonderful memories of them all. Each one is so special to me and I am grateful for their lives and the lessons that I have learned from them. There will always be a special place in my heart for them. There is nothing like the love that you feel for your grandparents. It is different and special.
