George didn't make it today!

    Jay did a wonderful job putting the three pieces of the George's headstone back together. He used stainless steel around the outside. With the new support it should last many more years.


    Unfortunately, George's headstone could not be placed today. We weren't prepared.  Windie nor I could remember exactly what the base looked like.  After probing around the base, we (the men) came up with a plan.  Sometime next month we will return to the cemetery to put George back where he belongs.

     After inspecting George's wife's headstone, it needs a little support at the base as well. Before we left, Jay noticed the words across the headstone of George's wife, Susan. I had overlooked it on my previous visits.  At the top it reads "AT REST" and beside the tree it reads "in hope" with a hand below it.
