Bio and Links
Bio Photo "The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal, every other affliction to forget; but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open: this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude." - Washington Irvine

"The song is ended, but the melody lingers on." -Irving Berlin

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." - Helen Keller


I was born in Alva, OK. Both parents were Okies; Dad from Freedom & Mom from Beaver.

I have some free time on my hands, enjoy lending a hand, so here I am.


I'm happy to make corrections / additions made through the 'edit' tab on the page in question.
I hate perpetuating errors that eventually get accepted as facts. So please explain the updates you provide. I appreciate anything that improves a memorial and am happy to add the new information.


God Bless America!

LookOut
Thank you Bob for all your help in our Lookout Cemetery, with the photos and corrections you have so wonderfully helped me with and that I sadly am just now getting to. I apologize for such the delayed response to you, as I have recently lost my ma.... and my many faces of grief has had the control of me for so long... & I must realize that I can not say recently any longer as I lost her July 30,2012.... But still feels "recent" as there is still hard days.
Sorry to rattle on,,, but please know I truly am so grateful for all you do. Thank you for everything.

Thank you!
Thank you very much for the two photos of the grave of Harriet Jenkins. It's great to have both a close up and a wider view, making it much easier to find when visiting the cemetery. Thanks again.

Jenkins family
to begin w/THANK YOU so much for the family photos!!
they are wonderful!!
I take an umbrella to help w/the morning light
If you want to remove Robbie's 2nd photo that would be fine since it is unreadable

Now as for our grandfather -- don't have a clue who did the stone but there defiantly was a mistake.

His name was James William (even have records of him being called 'Jenny'!) The form done for the headstone has James William - my husband just looked it up. So any family 'looking' will look for that otherwise I'd change it to what the stone says

thank you again for all your work -- guess I need to update the others too
