**PLEASE read very important:

Virtual cemeteries are the way to "gather" your ancestors together. I will no longer consider requests other than within the guideline. If you say "I am a direct relative," that does not meet the guidelines.

Find a Grave rules:

Memorials are transferred for relatives with these close relationships: child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, grandchild, great-grandchild, grandparent, great-grandparent, niece/nephew, great-niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, great-aunt/uncle, or first cousin. This would include adoptive, step and in-law versions of these relationships.

If two members are related within these guidelines and both would like to manage the memorial, the member with the closer relationship should be given management.

Always explain your relationship in the request! Keep in mind that the memorial manager MAY ALSO BE RELATED to the memorial and MAY NOT MAKE THE TRANSFER. You may also want to include your specific interest in the memorial.

Edits - If I decline an edit you have suggested, please send legal proof/documentation in reference to the legitimacy of the suggested edit via a Suggest Other Corrections. I will not approve edits that are based on assumptions. If I am unable to verify your update, I will ask you for documentation. Genealogy without documentation is mythology.

**Thank you to everyone who visited and kindly left flowers on my memorials.

Laugh when you can,

apologize when you should,

and let go of what you can't change.

Life's too short to be anything but happy.

Enjoy Life - It has an Expiration Date

Coins on a gravestone:

If you notice a penny on a gravestone, this signifies that a person has visited the headstone. It's an act of gratitude for the person's service. Anyone can leave a penny, whether they are a family member, friend or fellow service person.

If there is a nickel on the gravestone, this means that the visitor who left it went to boot camp with the person buried.

Next, if you see a dime on their gravestone, that signifies that the visitor served with the deceased military member.

Seeing a quarter has a particularly heavy association. If you notice a quarter, this signifies that a previous visitor was present when the soldier passed away.
