Sunday's Obituary - Mary Dart nee LeGrave

Me and my great organizational skills! Here let me put this in it's own special folder on my desktop and then completely forget about it. Seriously...that's what I did. For my punishment I will not put lip balm on my chapped lips.

Anyway, I was cleaning my computer's desktop over the holidays. It was more than halfway filled with various icons of mostly garbage. That's when I came across this clipping that I needed to edit and stitch together to post on. I also realized that I needed to update her entry in my family tree. I didn't have her maiden name and was missing her daughter Jean from my tree.

I'd make a New Year's Resolution to fix this in the new year, but we always seem to break those. Let me say that I'll try to be better.
