Memorial Visit

The day after Christmas we went to downtown Salt Lake to visit the memorial for my great, great grandpa Thomas Griffiths. It was recently dedicated to him in Nov 2011. It was wonderful getting the family together to see it. Thank you Salt Lake for remembering those past and present.
