My grandparents always went to Rose Hills every Memorial Day, to place home-grown flowers on the graves of Grandma's parents (though Grandpa would—Almost!—cuss, if the gladiolas weren't ready yet, forcing a pricey visit to the florist!!) … In the '70s, Sunny Slope Lawn was always a riot of festive colors.

When I grew up, I continued the tradition for many years, sometimes hitting 6 cemeteries over the weekend. Of late, money limitations have prevented this; it's nice to have this as an additional option, especially since many are choosing cremation without interment.

If you came here from Ancestry.com and are reading this for the first time; welcome. ("L K" Powers, and "K L" Powers— same.) FYI, all Bio info posted here is either accurate from my research on that site… or, from personal memory substantiated by documents, relatives' personal anecdotes, or my journals (kept since 1978).

Thanks especially to Pam; she's doing a great job, and took a nice photo of my mother's marker… and to Kevin Conner, who helped complete "Dad Jack" Sellers' ancestral information this year ('24). Blessings!! :)
