*Andre died

of the same disease. [contributed by Linda Jean Nicholson]
**Mary A. O'Connor (Peters): Grammie Peters was a most
amazing cook! I remember as a little girl waking every morning to fresh
baked bread and rolls. She was up at the crack of dawn (or earlier) baking
away. She loved to knit and make quilts. I still have the last one she ever
made! (it's packed away safely because it shows its been well used). She
was still baking away at 97 yrs old. She passed away at 99, just 4 months
before turning 100. [contributed by great-granddaughter Kerri Arsenault]
