Do you know if he and his wife were parents? Also, I wonder why there is no tombstone for his father Frank.Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-74316773070291367072012-10-23T19:51:07.781-04:002012-10-23T19:51:07.781-04:00It is.It is.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-83508315015596822372012-10-23T19:50:57.639-04:002012-10-23T19:50:57.639-04:00Me too -- our newspaper charges by the line, so yo...Me too -- our newspaper charges by the line, so you'd have to be wealthy to afford such an obituary today.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-6525939427252522422012-10-23T19:49:44.998-04:002012-10-23T19:49:44.998-04:00That's a first.That's a first.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-10673083262798555272012-10-23T19:33:02.881-04:002012-10-23T19:33:02.881-04:00I am without words =)I am without words =)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145530293593063964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-78872633602906710842012-10-23T13:48:55.525-04:002012-10-23T13:48:55.525-04:00I love how detailed obituaries used to be.
