Among the many poignant moments during our short trip to LA, was this one between our daughter, Kim, and her aunt Nonna. Nonna is Fred's (my husband's) oldest sister. Here she's relating some family history Kim hadn't heard and will treasure, as well as perhaps use in the historical novel she's writing about her great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

    Very touching and classic shot. So much family history is lost, because of just not discussing it. God bless you and your family as you heal from your recent loss.
