My trip to Vermont was greatly successful. I met several cousins for the first time, including one who lives near Rutland, which is where my research has led. I found a new, oldest gravesite for an ancestor, in a very small town outside Rutland. Later I found a photo of this same headstone in The Westcott Family History book, or what I call The Big Red Book.
Today, Easter, is the first family holiday without Kathy's Mom Eileen and her oldest brother Michael, both of whom died since March 12, and only six days apart. A blessing for both of them, their quality of life had deteriorated greatly, especially for Eileen. They are now free of pain and suffering, and have joined Kathy's Dad Hank.
