This means so much to me.



Here are pictures of my father's grave and my grandparents grave markers at Cypress Lawn cemetery in San Francisco, California where they are all buried. Josh decided to go visit it when he and Courtney went to San Francisco, the first part of February. I have not been there since I was 15 years old. I had planned to leave for California in 2000 for my Grammy's funeral, and my daughter Elliah was hit by a car that day, so I did not get to go to the cemetery then, with the rest of the family. I used to go there with my Grammy to put flowers on my Dad's grave. I remember how the fresh cut flowers and the crisp california air smelled way back when I was a child. Thanks to Josh and Courtney for these pictures. It means alot to me.

Family..the deepest connections that we will ever feel! I'm so glad that God joined us in such a wonderful group to go through this earthly experience with. I like that name McCabe, where does it come from?

Michele, I never knew that you lost your father at such a young age. You were only about 3 weren't you? Your grammy had been without her husband for 50 years, that's a long time. Very sweet pictures.

I would like to also see this someday in real life. I know he would have been the neatest grandpa. I am glad Josh got these pics for you. I love you mom.

I experienced what you were saying about the smell of fresh flowers in the crisp air...we noticed it right away. It was such a beautiful place and I'm glad you like the photos :)

I love you, Mom. I'm sorry I picked that day to step out in front of a moving vehicle. I didn't remember that Grandpa John was so young when he died. He was 28. I turned 28 today. Wow. Thank you Josh and Court for these awesome pictures.
