Memorial Day

Every year for Memorial Day we go to Larkin Cemetary to visit the graves of my brother, Jefferson, and my sister, Elizabeth. Also buried there is Grandpa and Grandma Gray. We clean the graves, adorn with flowers and get a family picture. We really missed Amelia and Catherine and Kris and Richard. I was really moved when Rick and I got there before everyone else. Or so we thought. As we walked up to the graves I saw this: Andrew had been there all by himself and was edging and cleaning the graves. It really showed his dedication and love to our family members and their memory. Without anyone asking or any direction he decided to do this service. Before he knew we were looking I took this photo. I love Andrew. Thank you for your example.
Jason and the girls continued to polish the graves and put up flowers.



The nieces getting a little silly.
