Wow, I can't believe you found that after all these years. I don't remember ever seeing it in the house. Did they know that she wouldn't live long? Is that why the baptism took place so quickly?
To Erika: Baptisms were very quick then, I was baptized the same day I was born.
When I was about five I remember going to the Cemetary with the family to see where she was buried. Mama made it a point to tell us that that was our sister buried there. I don't remember feeling anything. I remember Papa was very quiet.
When Pamela passed away in Italy, we came home to Detroit, I decided to have her buried at Holy Cross Cemetery because that's where baby heresa is buried. When Bob & I first visited her grave, the office was open & we were told how to find Theresa's grave. I'm glad to have that information again, because I didn't write it down.
