Today, my best friend took me out to visit a (semi-)local cemetery near to where she lives, and I had such a great time. I love visiting such sacred graves and reading the names on headstones… and my, there were a ton to read here.
I think that the combinations and families of these names are so exciting, so I’ll also write them out. There are some wonders, you guys! Write me what your thoughts are, if you so choose. Largely, I’m just stunned. 
The names… as they appeared on each headstone!
