After the wake, the family gathered at the hotel bar. Not to worry though. It was a "family bar"...evidenced by the baby swing placed next to the wall of video gaming machines. Vanessa couldn't wait to get started pushing buttons.

Grandpa's Wake
After the wake, the family gathered at the hotel bar. Not to worry though. It was a "family bar"...evidenced by the baby swing placed next to the wall of video gaming machines. Vanessa couldn't wait to get started pushing buttons.
2nd Degree Burns
Vanessa suffered second degree burns when she reached for a freshly poured cup of VERY HOT coffee. Mamma missed most of her father's wake because she was at the ER with Vanessa.
