"No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away – until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence." - Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

My sincere thank you to all of you who have spent countless hours, days, months and years pouring your time and effort into making Find A Grave a place to honor our friends' and families' memories, especially to everyone who has braved the heat, cold, rain, snow, ice, ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes, snakes and cranky cemetery staff. If I have made a mistake or an omission, please suggest an edit.
