"My grandfather married and had three children. Mimi-( the oldest and
my mother), Nalda and Billy. They lived in Winchester, Ma and he
worked in Boston designing his jewelry.My grandmother died in 1943
and he married twice more after that. His last wife was Jerre who
was wonderful. She had two granddaughters ( Amy and Molly) from a
previous marriage. They would be my grandfather's step granddaughters
