Thank you! Our genealogy society is helping nursing home residents free of charge, record their memories. I'm helping Rebecca, the daughter of Arch and Ann Johnstone record hers. She is 93 and can't remember when her family died or where they were buried. I know Rebecca would love a transcription of any of these obits. It does help her remember. Thank you again Colleen "May your neighbors respect you, troubles neglect you, the angels protect you and heaven accept you." Irish Blessing
