Although I was caught off guard when I stumbled upon my dad's memorial, it has inspired a new interest in my families' histories. Some branches of my family trees were extremely well documented while others had very little documentation. I realized that a family member had taken great care to document huge amounts of information so that I could stumble upon this well cared for "branch". I am doing the same so that someone else might enjoy the family history I am documenting.

There are Find a Grave members who generously contribute memorials for people that they have no direct connection to. They have been quite helpful and very appreciated as I put together a record of my family history. Thank you!

"Carpe Diem" means "Seize the day!" It is what we do today that we might be remembered for when we are no longer here.
