  1. Oh, how sad! It looks like Jennie lived a nice long life, but her two children(?) did not. Interesting grave marker - looks like marble.

  6. How beautiful, and a reminder life passes by in the blink of an eye. Wonderfully aged columns and urns.

  9. Visually, quite an impressive photo, Tanya. Once you get past the visual aspect and look at the content....well, makes you think a little. Good job!

  11. Wide variability in lifetimes. Those stones are very moldy, aren't they?
