Cemetery

A Final resting place. A place where relatives and friends can visit and be comforted with the memories of those departed. Well, I don't intend on shaking off this restless coil soon but. What gives me thoughts of such endings, rather than soon futures is that I am thinking far into to future, perhaps 6 or 7 generations beyond what is. Not to live in the future, rather the question of a mention of my name and some curiosity evoked from some Lad or Lass whose surname is the same as that carved into the mossy granite at their feet. Who was he/she? What was he/she like?

As many of us profess to love this Lakes Region who do not live here, have any of you given any thought as to when you wish to leave it, or not? The last day of summer, or the last day of our lives. We pack for one and get "packed" by others for the latter. I don't want you'all getting depressed, I want you to think about the joy that you could be providing to your children, grandchildren, and beyond by letting them know how much you loved this place. At least this is the thought process that I'm following.

I have a Grandparents interred in Center Sandwich who I enjoyed when they were alive, and visit now that they no longer walk this earth. Nearby my Grandfather's grave is his Great Grandfather's grave that is mentioned in my Grandfather's epitaph. I would like to become a part of this family (some time long into the future), but not being a resident it may be difficult as it is not a family cemetery.

My questions to you this family of Lake Lovers is, have you thought about where you're going, (sorry to be so crass) how does your significant other feel about it, is there someplace here in the Lakes Region that you are planning on going (sorry again) OR, do you have plans on departing like a couple of relatives of mine, who had their ashes scattered into the Great Spirit.
