Thank you for visiting my page at Angelfire. This page is
dedicated to my family. It is my Family
Tombstone Project. Since there is a
Tombstone Project going on nation wide
I thought it would be a nice idea if I
did my own. Especially since I cannot
seem to find any of my family in the
ones that are listed.
You will see here the grave markers of
mygrandparents, and you will also see
how very well kept the cemeteries are
in this area.
I hope you find it a pleasure seeing
these cemeteries as they normally
appear. Pictures have not been edited.
They are like this all the time. The
grounds keepers are very good at what
they do here.
Please come back and visit again!
