I am a college graduate with a B.S.N. in nursing. I am married and have 3 children. I work as an OB nurse.I am an ancestry member and photograph many of my relatives' graves that were buried where I live. I have researched my side and my husbands' side of the family. I have searched local cemeteries and found tombstones for other people and have sent photographs to them. I enjoy finding out as much as I can in my search. You have my permission to use my photos, for ancestry, no need to ask, just give me credit for the photo. Most memorials are not related to me so, I am more than willing to transfer if they are not personal friends of the family or relatives. I also have uploaded thousands of obituaries to memorials. If you have any corrections or new information you would like added, I am more than happy to do so for you, but PLEASE PROVIDE THE SOURCE OR ADD IT TO MEMORIAL, or I probably won't approve it. Additionally, I will no longer accept corrections on the burial block and plots for capitalization errors. If it is correct except for capitalization, I will deny correction. ( 5/16/2021) .Also, I upload hundreds of photos, and they don't all turn out due to lighting conditions. If your photo is clearer than mine, just let me know. I will remove mine, and hopefully you will do the same as you scroll through your memorials. If you add spouses or parents, etc., please add the information to the memorial of the source, as I don't have the time to look them all up to ensure they are accurate. Please feel free to add the obit or other source of information you would like added. Most death dates I add are from cemetery sources so, they could be burial dates. I feel that it is better than not having any clue as to what date in the month they died. Also, don't be trivial about commas and periods. If I have uploaded an obituary onto a memorial that you manage, feel free to type it out and let me know, and I will delete my photo of the obituary. I used to type them out, and certain FAG members don't respond promptly, so I just upload them now. I do hundreds of obits, and I feel that information is more important!I would love to see pictures uploaded to their memorials!! I love to put a face to each name. I am willing to look up obituaries for the LaSalle, Peru, Oglesby, Spring Valley, Ladd, Mendota, and Ottawa areas if interested. Just contact me. I do this on my own time, and there is no charge unless I send it to you. I never refuse Starbucks or Amazon gift cards, and St. Jude Midwest Affiliate 530 N. Glen Oak Ave. Peoria, IL 61637, and the Bow Foundation, P.O. Box 5612, Charlottesville, VA 22905, are very special to my heart.
