At every grave, no matter how old, how poorly marked, or how long forgotten, there lies the memory of a precious life lived with a beginning, a middle, an end, and a story worth telling and remembering. Each tombstone marks a significant day of human sorrow. And around almost every tombstone was once gathered the unbreakable force of love.

FindAGrave and its volunteers are here to respect those memories and to help keep those individual stories and names alive, whenever possible. Each memorial made here is for one more person who is gone, but not forgotten.

Everyone should be encouraged to share their story. If not, once we die, the story ends with us.

I'm a genealogist and a great-granddaughter of seventeen Kings and eleven Queens.

°Direct Mayflower descendant. Mary Chilton is often credited with being the very first Pilgrim to ever set foot on Plymouth Rock. Mary is a great-grandmother of mine. In learning more about her, I've discovered the explorer, traveler, and adventurer inside of me.

°Daughters of the American Revolution.

°Early Virginia Planters.

If you have a moment to visit my Daddy's memorial page, please leave him a flower of some type.

I lost my father tragically as a younger woman. He was a great man. I'm most happy to leave a flower for a parent of yours.

I'm also currently researching the family lines of:

°Castle of Marion County, Tennessee.

°Hutchins / Hutchings from Davidson, Marion, and White Counties, Tennessee.

The Christian and Ward families of Jackson County, Alabama, and Texas.

°Plantagenet royal lines.

All the heavy hitters of England's royal lineage.

I travel, photograph, and research in record departments and archives.

I will message you back, but it might take a little to hear from me.

If we share ancestors, or if I can unravel a confusing ancestor issue for you, please reach out to me.

If you read all of this, you are a champion!

If you haven't already, please leave a flower for my little precious girl, Noel.

Dust In The Wind

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone

All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind

All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea

All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind

Oh, ho, ho

Now, don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky

It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind

Everything is dust in the wind
