I wonder what they would say.

I first started cleaning these 2 off about 10 years ago, they are never tended, no flowers or flags other than the ones we place...

    I like cemeteries. I don't know why. Maybe it's the Polish in me, we seem to have a seemingly unhealthy preoccupation with death. I just find them very peaceful places, and when you think your life really sucks, they just remind you of how much worse it could be. Anyhow, while walking about a cemetary the other day, I came across a an untended marker dated 1927, "Gone, but not forgotten."

    I had to smile at the irony...

    Good on you and your efforts. I am sure they are appreciated.

    Probably things we could listen to for weeks on end.

    Thank you for watching after them.[;)]

    You should do some research and find out more about them.

    You should be able to find quite a bit out with the names and DOB & DOD.
