A very long family tradition of honoring the graves with flowers brings peace of heart and mind. As we gather flowers from the beautiful selection around mom's house and from neighboring yards, we find a special joy in sharing stories and memories.

Memorial Day 2012
My dad, his parents, two of mom's sisters, and many many friends and acquaintances are buried at Sunset Heights just a few miles from Tillamook.

At the cemetary, there is always a job of cleaning and tidying around the headstones - truely a labor of love.
At the IOOF Cemetary near Idaville, I leave a small token of memories with Dennis' favorite color - orange.
No matter where or when they served our country, it is always an honor to see that our loved ones are recognized for their valor and love of country.
