Retired and enjoying it! Now I can focus on the things I love to do such as genealogy, history and grave hunting! I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. My admission into DAR is what started me on my genealogic journey.

Those We Love

Author Unknown

"Those we love don't go away;

They walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard but always near.

Sill loved, still missed, and very dear.

Wishing us hope in the midst of sorrow,

Offering comfort in the midst of pain, both today and tomorrow."

Thank you to all the contributors who have fulfilled any photo requests I may have requested! It is greatly appreciated! :)

***************************************************************

PLEASE DO NOT PUT DUPLICATE PHOTOS on my memorials if I already have the same photo on it. I do not need duplicate death certificates, birth certificates, military records, obituaries etc. I can get most of those myself through various sites. Also, do not put another headstone photo on either unless your photo is clearer than mine or you are marking GPS. Thank you!!! :)
