Description
My grandparents both died relatively young. In fact, my dear old dad was only a child himself when he was effectively orphaned. He was finally sent all over the country to live with any relatives who could take him in.
As my dad has now passed on too, I had no idea where to start as to where they might be buried, but was surprised how easy it was to track down their burial place online. I can remember my dad sharing fond memories of them with me, so I took a loooong drive today and went to say hi!
