I've loved cemeteries since I was a little girl and we visited the family graves on a vacation to Detroit, Michigan and Western Kentucky. Standing eye level with the headstones left a lasting impression on me and a desire to carry on the tradition of visiting the cemetery and honoring loved ones.

I enjoy reading headstones and imagining the lives represented by them.

All my memorials are for family and family by marriage. It just depends on who needs a memorial in the family group.

I have recently added one special non-relative local memorial and one other for a community member who was transferred to me.

Many thanks to all of you who create memorials and take photos for Find A Grave!
