My goal is to preserve accurate information into the future. My training in public health leads me to enjoy working with data and cemeteries are full of data. I believe in Find A Grave as a method of preserving important family history. I live in Spokane, WA, close to the border with Idaho. I'm currently working in Holy Cross Cemetery there.I always appreciate additional information for any gravesite but I won't change what's 'written in stone' without good reason. Please don't plagiarize photos.
Today I walked on your grave,
Swept some leaves away
Then took your last photo.
Recorded your name, your dates,
Beloved (or not).
Engraved in stone and metal
To last
Beyond the memory of the living.
I am sending you on Into the far future,
Into the cloud of data that floats Around the world now.
I wish you a peaceful rest
In this lovely, quiet place
Until God calls you anew.
