After an enriching childhood of growing up visiting relatives, courthouses and cemeteries in the mountains of NC, I was bequeathed the priceless treasure of my family's history. This has made for a lifetime of deep learning, and given me great appreciation and gratefulness for my own history and history in general. FindAGrave honors the past and helps us to make those connections. The benefit is a much larger family than we could ever have dreamed. If I can be of any help to anyone, it would give pleasure.
