Fifth Generation

19. Paula J. ROCKEY on 29 June 2014.⁴⁹ Note from Paula to Gary Griggs: "Gary, thanks to you my family circle is complete.  Went to Quincy, Ill., the Veterans' Home and William Herzberg's gravesite. Very emotional. Our son went with us. Will never forget that trip.  

Then later in week new relatives from WI came. We went to Utica where my mom's family lived. That's only 6 miles from me.  Together we visited cemeteries and places our family were.  They were wonderful.

I am exhausted but at peace now. Mom's dad gave her up for adoption for the right reasons. He lived a lonely life after. Sounded like a wonderful man. Still waiting to talk to a cousin that actually lived in the same house with him and remembers him well and knew of mom. She has been sick, so hoping this will happen.
 
Just wanted you to know and see that this journey is pretty much complete.  Once again, thank you for your help. Everyone, every piece of info I received seemed to fall into place to get me to this place. 

Have a great summer! Hope you and yours are well and happy! God bless you!  Paula"
