My Mom rests Now high on another montain in Upstate New York, I think she would have aproved of the spot that my Dad picked for us to go to visit her. It is so beautiful there. It is peaceful, quiet and most of all in the country.
My dad and my brothers mow her grave every week. She has almost as much there as she had at home.
People probely wonder why is her grave so decorated. She loved Life, holidays, lighthouses and flowers. And she really loved the fall. She would collect leaves, all shapes, sizes and color and then tell you what kind of tree it from. I think she liked the Maple leaves the best of all. So this time of the year a big deal to her. I know she is Smiling down on us right now saying," They really do remember the simple things I enjoyed all my life.
So when you take a ride and see a grave with alot of things on it, stop and take the time to see who that person was. You maybe surprized at what you can find out about that person by what is on their grave.
You can look for or add your Family's Names to the Cemetry in which they rest in.
It is a nice site in which you can leave notes or tokens for the ones you love.
