A Grave Day

Last time I went to Sisters, I stopped by Larry’s grave.  His flowers were gone.  I thought it was too close to Memorial Day to replace them.  Helen made a new bouquet and she and Fleta took flowers to all the graves we decorate in Alpena Cemetery today.  I am glad he has flowers again.  Thank you, sisters.
The heart and basket Helen fixed for Debbie’s grave was so pretty. My parents would be proud.

 This is the first year that we have had to decorate our baby brother’s grave.  Our baby sister passed in in June of 1983, 39 years ago.  Out of 8, only the three sisters remain.  We decorate about 20 graves here and also several at Gass Cemetery near Omaha, AR.  Helen always decorates our nephew Tony Poor’s grave too.  She has the other flowers ready, but the adorning was cut short as it started to pour rain.  Helen said she’d do the others during the week.

It all looks so pretty, well as pretty as a Cemetery can be. How wonderful that you take care of so many graves. It is a labor of love:)
