Trip to Washington
The end of last month Grandpa John Roberts passed away. We were very sad about his death but happy he had such a full life. He had just turned 90 this past Spring and Clare was able to meet him while we were home. Last week Clare & I flew out to Washington to see family. Uncle Mike & Aunt Shirley had a very nice memorial party for family/friends and a lot of us, Roberts' were there. I was so happy to see my cousin's little one doing so well & I was so thankful to see everyone. I was lucky to grow up within a few minutes of both sets of Grandparents & spent a lot of time with them. My Grandpa spent more time running the Centralia American Legion Baseball program then I can count and the majority of my memories of him involve the fields. He had a strong sense of community and made a huge difference in the program. During our trip we stayed out for a ceremony at the ballpark. I felt very lucky to have been there. I know he would have liked it.
