Cates search for her family ties

My father grew up in Windom Minnesota. I’ve never been there so during my search for myself I thought maybe a stop in this tiny town of 4300 would bring some enlightenment. I had no idea where he lived and couldn’t remember his dads name who is buried here. Thank fully one of my sisters remembered. Daniel Theodore Grady. Katie then found on a gravesite website and found a pic of the tombstone and church where it was associated. We found the church but couldn’t find the cemetary. I knocked on all the doors of St Francis Xavier and a lovely woman pointed us in the right direction. We found the small catholic cemetary just outside of town and I was quickly able to find his stone. We picked some wild flowers for the grave. When ready to leave I realize I dropped my phone somewhere. It was on silent. We had tromped through a field to pick flowers and amazingly I found it. A good omen. Thanks grandpa. Never met you but you had my back. ❤️
