★"Not to know what happened before we were born is to remain perpetually a child. For what is the worth of a human life unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history." ★

-Cicero (106 - 43 B.C.)

My significant - first wife - finally joins me in the chase as we add more and edit more of her family grave sites around the globe I wanted to share the same profile platform.

"This is a Cemetery"

Lives are commemorated - deaths are recorded - families are reunited - memories are made tangible - and love is undisguised.

This is a Cemetery

Communities accord respect, families bestow reverence, historians seek information and our heritage is thereby enriched.

Testimonies of devotion, pride and remembrance are carved in stone to pay warm tribute to accomplishments and to the life - not death - of a loved one. The cemetery is homeland for family memorials that are a sustaining source of comfort to the living.

A cemetery is a history of people - a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering - always.

--George Shepard

"Neglected graves are a shameful thing." - Martha Corinne Walton (Beulah Bondi)- The Waltons,guest appearance.

Epilogue- The Pony Cart - The Waltons

"The summer of 1937 was a summer to remember, because it was the summer that Martha Corinne came to visit. She was buried on the mountain next to Henry, and the graves were never again overgrown with weeds because as she said, neglected graves are a shameful thing. Ben never sold the pony cart; he kept it as a sort of legacy for Martha Corinne. But perhaps the most important legacy of all was the one Martha Corinne gave to me."

I have seen some very neglected cemeteries.

But, neglected veterans' graves upset me the most.
