Boy was that post filled with typos. Sorry about that.

Thank you for your thoughts, Snodderly. I hope you and your family have a great holiday weekend as well. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the time and wisdom you bring to this board. You have helped and continue to help those trying to negotiate a path they didn't ever expect to walk.

The headstone, and part of the reason I couldn't find it, was covered in a moldy fungi. A lot of the headstones were unreadable because of it. I have never seen this before. We chalked it up to having a very mild winter?

I was not prepared for having to clean the headstone, and had nothing with me to do it with. H had D13 get the watering can out of his truck and fill it. I basically cleaned it with water and my hand, but I really could have used a toothbrush. H took out his pocket knife and ran it through the grooves of the lettering which made them visible again.
