Picture Update

Dressed up for his Great Grandmother's funeral, Leona Receveur, who lived until she was 109 years old. Passed peacefully and with family by her side. What an amazing life she lived, through many important historical moments and great personal achievements. She will be greatly missed but so many lives have changed because she lived. I wish that I had a picture of her in her earlier years.
