    What a kind unselfish act you perform so that this little child is not forgotten. When you lifted her stone I could not believe how far down it had sunk. Another 100 years would have probably passed and nobody would have stopped by to fix her grave. I have the greatest respect for the time you spend on remembering the many people that have passed on by making them seen again.

      What happened, is that due to the decomposition of grass and leaves over the years caused the soil to overcome the stone. Who knows how many other stones are there totally covered by the dirt. It is happening over in one of the cemeteries in Minneapolis, MN. As in the infant/child section of the Crystal Lake Cemetery. Including the stone that is over the grave of a brother of mine.

    Ironically, your channel came across my feed. Life is precious, and by restoring headstones, not only honors a life lived, but the memories loved-ones treasure. Tammy Marie only lived for two days, however, her parents and loved ones cherished the brief time with her. The dreams they had for Tammy Marie were sadly not realized. The grief her family felt is unfathomable. You are a blessing for caring, and giving each life once lived, dignity and respect. You now have a new subscriber. On a sad note, I lost a cherished, dear friend April 19, 2024. My heart is broken, and I can’t stop crying. His friends and family have a plethora of memories of this wonderful man. I hope and pray his headstone stays pristine, as he gave much joy to so many. God bless you.

      @@VirginiaTombstoneRevival Thank you for your kind words. I’m so sorry you lost your precious friend, too. He had cancer, but chemo was shrinking the large tumors. However, seemingly out of nowhere, he had a painful headache, and a large tumor was located at the base of his brain. I talked to him before surgery, and I’m grateful for that phone call. I won’t be able to attend his funeral, as I live in Alabama, and he lived in Massachusetts. He was a once-in-a-lifetime friend…I can’t believe he’s gone. I feel terrible for his family and other friends. Thank you for letting me talk about him. My hope and prayer is you find comfort and healing through Christ’s love. God bless and keep you. What you are doing for others is truly remarkable and heartwarming.
