Sunday's Obituary: Vincent Levy Greene

Today's post concerns Vincent Levy Green who was the son of my Great Grand Aunt's husband William James Greene (see more here and here) and his second wife Mary Florence nee Levy.  Vincent was born about 1917 in Wagga Wagga.  He died after a short illness at his residence in North Wagga and was buried in the Wagga Wagga Cemetery.

Update:

I took a trip to the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery with my husband and found Vincent's grave as we were walking back to the car after looking through Roman Catholic Section No. 1.  It is very close to the road and I was surprised to find it as it was not listed on the Wagga Wagga Cemetery portal (see here).  I found out later that it is however listed at Find a Grave (see here).  It turns out Vincent was nine months and three days old when he passed.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked.  Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one;  they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives.  After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too!  This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more.

When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came a...
