I am born and raised here in Savannah and have family burried in Bonaventure. I enjoy my visits there, and have even taken advantage of some areas where we had picnic lunches. I never get tired of visiting "Little Gracie's" site. She tugs at the Heart strings of all who visit her, no matter how many time you visit. She seems to say "Please come back". <br />Again Great work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918527799348942864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-83534502089617418882011-05-23T23:29:48.364-04:002011-05-23T23:29:48.364-04:00Very nice, Joan.
