A Michigan Rose

Yesterday Grandma Laitinen (my husband's grandma) passed. We will miss our visits with her when we go to the U.P. to the lake house that she and Grandpa Laitinen built. My thoughts and well wishes are with the extended Laitinen family.

The random coincidence of this is that my daughter is doing a family tree for a classroom project and my mother-in-law provided this information

Mother: Rosemary Irene Nuranen (maiden name), the oldest of 14 children
Birthdate: February 14, 1923
Birth Location: Highway Location, Michigan

On the form it also asked for date deceased and it was left blank. The project has not been submitted so we will have to add this new information. We will miss you Grandma Rose. This picture was taken in 2007 and is 4 generations and the baby in her arms has Rosemary as her middle name. Her legacy will carry on.
