❤️ A big brother and infant sister, side by side for eternity. ❤️

Their memorials received a gentle cleaning, removing the years of biological growth and staining.

Before: May 27, 2026
After: June 13, 2026

Even simple preservation work can help ensure that these young lives continue to be remembered for generations to come.



Note: I did not "fix" Anthey's stone, it was done some years ago.

Little at a time we work to preserve their names, in turn they can never be forgotten.

This weekend is Caring for Your Cemetery Weekend 🪦.

Cemeteries need our care, and history needs our preservation efforts.

I am proud to collaborate with GraveGeeks on this initiative. If you cannot participate in person, there are still ways to make a difference.
You can adopt a headstone in my name, and I will complete a preservation project.

Waxes have no place on marble and granite stones.

This is the guidance for cleaning Government issued veteran grave markers… anyone claiming that a wax product has been approved for use on marble and granite stones by the VA or NCA is absolutely wrong! Do not fall for scams presented by snake oil salesmen! The full guidance can be found here.
