Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Not too many pictures exist of Grandma and Grandpa together after we were married. Grandma got a divorce while she still had 4 girls at home. She had never driven a car, but she taught herself and went most anyplace she wanted plus she got a job. All she had ever done was work in the fields and take care of the house and 7 kids. She also raised her mentally challenged grandson Joey. She was one of the strongest women I have ever known. Proud to say she was my mother-in-law.
