I live in SW Florida with my husband but I was born in Ohio. I'm a proud U.S. Navy veteran, and a proud descendent of Revolutionary War patriots. I'm a former Daughter of the American Revolution but recently revoked my membership due to their admission of men pretending to be women into our society.

Please feel free to use any photo of gravestones that I've posted for your family trees or research...no credit needed!! I'll gladly transfer any memorial to family members. Please message me and include your Find A Grave member ID and I'll transfer them to your care.

Preserving a very old stone on a photo is a blessed thing. I always think of the ancestors in the future that will stumble onto this site and find that stone, that may be worn away by weather or destroyed by an evil vandal now, but has been preserved for them with photography here forever.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd visit my parents, Reginald and Dora Huffman's memorial pages and leave a flower for them. God bless you in advance for doing this!!

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

A cemetery is a history of a 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.
