Yes Cindy I remember this connection with you and Verla Savage and myself. It's been since 2003 that I communicated with Linda and her mom and wrote back and forth exchanging photos etc. I can't believe it, yes Dana is 103 according to my dates. I just wrote to Linda yesterday sending my condolences and sorry that it was this occasion that got me back in touch with her but that I would like to revisit our communications when the time is right for her. Is Dana aware mentally? My mother is 90 and other than some muscle weakness that we are attributing to her cholestrol medicine making her walking difficult, if she keeps up like she is now, she will definitely pass 100. I hope to hear from Linda - I have recently been making family connections on the Skiles/Wilson line who are living in Mt. Vernon...... Grandchildren from my grandmother's sister that we never knew (died in a car accident in 1957) and Dana's father was their uncle. So I'd like Linda to know about these new found members.

Janean, Dana is in a nursing home, she is 100+. Linda is at the home place. She will miss Larry terribly. They were cousins of my second cousin Verla Savage, who spent years on genealogy. Verla's mom was a Draper. Cindy On 9/17/2012 11:42 AM, Janean Ray wrote: > Thank you so much for posting this.
