Home Again

Myrtle Marie Lavey Schilling lies in this Cemetery.  She was a WAC during World War II.


Laura and Eric have been in Minnesota visiting Eric’s Grandfather.  Howard is 96.  This year he will turn 97.   Grandma Myrt died in 1999.  He has fewer friends and family because they have all passed away.  He lives in an assisted living facility.  It’s a long drive to visit, but it’s an important thing to do.  I think it takes 10 or 12 hours to get there.  I’ll be glad to have them home again.  Sigrid will too.  She stayed here and has been in charge of Frodo, their Corgi.  

Howard served in World War II.  He worked for the city of Minneapolis until retirement.

That is a long way to go but like you said it is important to take the time to visit.

It is wonderful that they came for a visit, I bet Eric's Grandpa was thankful for the company!
