Bio and Links

I'm a native of Virginia and graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University. My career brought me from Richmond to Atlanta in the 1980s and Georgia has been my home ever since.

I became interested in FindAGrave.com and my family genealogy after my mother passed away in 2010. She was a proud native of South Georgia. I've posted many photos of my mother, family and friends so their memory will live on.

"To live in hearts we leave behind is
not to die." . . . Thomas Campbell from Hallowed Ground

Very historic and the oldest known publicly-owned burial ground in metro Atlanta, Decatur Cemetery is believed to predate
both Decatur's 1823 and Atlanta's 1845 incorporation.

One of the most historic and beautiful cemeteries in the South .... Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia opened in 1849.

The Dash...
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke 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
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
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 can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real.
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And 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 spent your dash?

Sue	Travis Tim, thank you so much for the photos honoring my parents. It is so very meaningful to me. Added by Sue on Jun 06, 2013 5:48 PM

Joe Colby	RE: Hello Hey Tim, Looks like you got back home safely. Hope everything went smoothly getting your dad back up to Richmond and then getting home. That's a lot of mileage! I am renting a room in DC and I think the family I rent from has family down that way. I will ask him tomorrow to see where his ancestors are from and see if he needs any assistance with that. I will also be glad to assist you for anything that you may need up this way. It was nice to meet another Find-a-graver and share experiences. Joe. Added by Joe Colby on Jun 02, 2013 9:09 PM
