I'm the grandson of these two through Aloyes (Peterson) Nielson. I found your blog by just randomly searching Google for information about Andrew. Obviously, I never knew him.
ReplyDeleteWe cared for Della as she developed Alzheimers and she lived with us for a number of years. I was there the day she died and sang at her funeral.
Unfortunately, a lot of my mom's stuff was lost at her death. But I'll look around and see if there are any pictures I can send to you.
