Since my church set up a beautiful scatter garden for ashes, neither I nor anyone else in my family will have to make a decision about storing the remains. Back to the earth.

But no member of his immediate family even lives in that state anymore. Visiting graveyards where graves are obviously neglected, where no family or friend comes, where the markers long outlive those who remember the departed, makes me very sad, indeed.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-20270485538001576242016-06-08T10:15:25.009-05:002016-06-08T10:15:25.009-05:00Well don't go yet.
