In loving memory of
your loved one
I have been tending to my family's gravesites across Iowa since I was a boy. As I became an adult and started a family of my own, I would escort my grandmother along with my young daughter every Memorial Day to clean and decorate the graves. My daughter and I would listen to her stories as we drove. My grandmother would share stories of how the towns have changed, who lived where, who did what, and with who. I loved those times together and I still honor my commitment to continue our tradition after her passing. Those stories have started to fail me but I still hang on to how we felt in the car on those old country roads.
