I've been adding tombstone photos and memorials to Find A Grave.<br /><br />Aimee, I don't know how I missed your comment because I was hoping someone would mention the stroller, and you did! Isn't it a beauty? <br /><br />Judy, you're most welcome! As Kirby said, it's so much better to have a photo with the story.<br /><br />Postcardy, if my mother hadn't been a packrat, I wouldn't have any of them either! As for the heatstroke, yes, I was lucky, and lucky to have Grandma Emma for a guardian angel that day.<br /><br />Bob, it was my pleasure!JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-85992377854207073492009-06-06T08:59:44.913-05:002009-06-06T08:59:44.913-05:00Beautiful and very personal post.

Together, they make your family history come alive and you and your Granda Emma look so much alike, it's uncanny--except for the hairstyle and you are usually smiling or laughing, whereas she is sober. Beautiful women, both! Thank you so much for the picture and story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-51861171378334213822009-06-05T16:07:18.150-05:002009-06-05T16:07:18.150-05:00I loved this beautiful picture and especially the ...I loved this beautiful picture and especially the story behind it.

As...Marie...another with Swedish heritage! Wowwww.<br /><br />As for the "second sense", I inherited it from Emma, as did a second cousin. I suspect others in the family have it too, but won't admit to it. Somewhere I read it's quite common among Swedes and Norwegians. Icelanders too.JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-82704747832697604822009-06-05T15:12:00.001-05:002009-06-05T15:12:00.001-05:00I enjoyed reading your stories of Emma.

I didn't realize that there was an entry other than Ellis Island! I had never heard of Castle Garden... Fascinating.... just fascinating! My Mother (maiden name Lindquist - I know - super common) remembers her Grandmother always singing to her in Swedish:) Seeing that the card was written in Swedish was then very special to me too considering my Swede heritage:)Marie Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071668321977054448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-69066191935467650942009-06-05T14:27:50.472-05:002009-06-05T14:27:50.472-05:00Thanks all!
