I grew up in the Greater New York area. The majority of interments that I have done for Find a Grave are of children who have passed away young and whose memory, after the passing of as many as 10 years, seems to be forgotten. Some of these children I remember from the newspapers, who were memorialized in print but who today are largely forgotten. Four other children were family members of mine who, though they died of natural causes, likewise are scarcely remembered. But their stories have touched me and have stayed always in my heart. I hope that these memorials shall be a living tribute to all of them. These children deserve to be remembered and honored, to be given a sense of dignity and love in death that was so denied to them in life.
