If you have a better photo image than mine please post it.

I Will transfer any memorial not related to me.
If you knew them or have interest in them, you should memorialize them not me. Just ask for a transfer of management.
This will also save me from transferring to findagrave as my life gets more difficult with age.

I do not link to unknown burials.
I do not add census info to the memorial page. Important but it belongs somewhere else.
If you feel the need to add these to a memorial, then please request a transfer.

I am better at researching memorials than photographing.
I feel honored to have had the opportunity to work with several talented photographers as a researcher for their photos. Together we have been able to better document a few cemeteries in Massachusetts.

Current project:
2021, 2022, 2023 Hope Cemetery, Worcester, MA. with multiple photographers.
2023-2024 using burial records at St. John's cemetery, Worcester and some other cemeteries in the area along with their newspaper obits to add memorials.

A poem I saw included with someone's obituary that I found worthy of sharing.

THE DASH
the poem by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.

He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning… to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own, the cars… the house… the cash. What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard; are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left that still can be rearranged.

To be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile… remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

So when your eulogy is being read, with your life's actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you lived your dash?
