These three gals and a gent make up one of my favorite pictures. My brother John Dayton, my mom, Lorena Etter Dayton, my great-grandmother Hopkins and my grandmother Lucy May Hopkins Etter. Such a fun family picture. I only remember being around Zoe Price Hopkins a few times. She mostly stayed in her room on oxygen. She wasn't fond of us loud younger kids, but she did not feel good, so I understood. I wish I had known her better. She died in 1970. Robert, her husband, died before I was born, so I never knew him.

My brother, like my dad, did not smile for pictures. This one is so awesome of him. It is actually how I remember him most...this age, this smile. Well, except when he was a bratty brother!!!

My mom is beautiful. I wish I had her beauty and her skin. Our daughter does though, beautiful skin...and the dance moves!

I've always wished I had done more to create an easier life for my grandmother. She taught me so much. Sweet memories!
