You will be so missed kiddo

You will be so missed kiddo

Thinking about them All this time of year...but for those of you who truly know me...I'm just being me...May they never be forgotten...
 
Dear Ancestor
 
"Your tombstone stands among the rest
Neglected and alone
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished marble stone
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn
 
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh and blood and bone
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own
 
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so
I wonder how you lived and loved
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot
And come to visit you."

Rumbarger Cemetery Preservation Society President Carol Laughlin said having the extra help from volunteers is a big help.

"They're very enthusiastic and willing to do everything," Laughlin said. "We have to think up things for them to do. They're very good."

Butterworth said the volunteer effort in DuBois is part of a larger FedEx event, Ground Green Week, where employees help with restoration projects in the communities where they live.

"It's all volunteer work [at the cemetery], and it's a lot on them," Butterworth said. "We figured we could give them the day off, get up here, it's a historic site in DuBois, and just be part of it."

Laughlin said any help is always appreciated.

"There are a lot of important people here and I'm sure at one time it was absolutely a beautiful place and it
