I am new to Find A Grave and discovered it when my Mother passed away in December 2012. She was always doing Genealogy in some form or another as long as I can remember. She used to drag me to old cemeteries for hours on end when I was just a girl. My brother has followed in her footsteps and is now keeping her legacy going. I never really understood my Mom's love of spending time in cemeteries until now. I have started taking some photos and wandering around cemeteries and I find this to be very peaceful and rewarding when I find that gravestone that someone is requesting. I am thankful to be able to contribute to this endeavor and I am even more thankful for this activity that makes me feel close to my wonderful and amazing mother.
