Family Remnant

If you have been following me for awhile, you know I have a love for family momentos. This is a recent momento I received from my Father's belongings. It is a photo of my Grandmother and army medallion my Grandfather kept in his possession while he served in WWI. It dates back to around 1917.

That is a beautiful piece of history. Where did your Grandfather serve?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is such a treasure! It's a beautiful addition to all those lovely things you already have- and is this the grandmother who lived in your home too?
