Update…
Now instead of how much I love my family I’ve had to alter my profile on the free virtual cemetery site, which I’ve spent years updating. Hundreds of hours of work undone overnight. I am now being stalked by another Ancestry member WHO I AM NOT EVEN RELATED TO! I spent the day contacting family…
FOCUS: Roger Williams Park Mausoleum and Oakland Cemetery in Cranston, Rhode Island
This came through on Facebook and I just wanted to share it. Watch the video. Remember, this is what happens when people don’t remember cemeteries matter! It might not be your cup of tea, but this could be Y O U if you choose a casket. (I’m going ashes, tyvm!) Disclaimer: I have ZERO personal…
