Noticed in a couple of my maternal family obituaries while doing research that my grandparents home on Agawam St. in the Grove was frequently the designated wake location if the relations passed.

Mom also spoke about the women wailing that she did not like at the wakes. <br />Tom<br />tmirish7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01197439381335843797noreply@blogger.com
