Edward Gonnella, 1918-2009

All four of my grandparents moved from the American midwest to California to work menial jobs so their kids could live better lives.  We lost the last one today.  I'm glad I got to see him a couple of years ago.  May he rest in peace.

'rents

Grandpa'rents, that is. I finally got out to see Grandma and Grandpa today and Aunt Maddie. We had brunch at Denny's, where they serve a hamburger with onion rings right on the hamburger! Grandpa moves inspiringly slowly, and it was good to see him smile.
