I appreciate this website so much and enjoy being a member. Many thanks to all who respond to my photo requests, and those who submit corrections/additions/subtractions to memorials I manage; your efforts are MUCH appreciated.

90% of my memorials are related to me (or my spouse) in some fashion, albeit some distantly. I transfer memorials to members according to FaG guidelines, but may make some exception, depending upon the nature of the request. Please provide your member number and relationship to the individual. (My "memorials managed" number is high relative to my "memorials added" number because my relatives are quite content to allow ME to do the work)!

I don't mind anyone using pictures that I post, but would appreciate it if credit is given.

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

the 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 sanctuary of peace and

quiet today. A cemetery exists because every

life is worth loving and remembering, always.
