My parents' headstones


I was going through some old picture folder.  From 2012.  And found this picture of my parent's grave markers.  My father died in 2007, my mother in 2010.  They are buried in Mishkan Israel cemetery in New Haven CT.  In the newer section where everything is flush to the ground.  I was visiting my cousin Mary Ann; we were doing family history research.  When I go to visit my cousin, we always always go to the cemetery.  This is not optional.

Dennis and I will also be buried in that cemetery.  In the older 19th century part.  Next to my great grandmother Delia.  I'm sure I've told that story here.

This was only two years after we had come to bury them.  We went to the cemetery and it was kind of hard to find them.  14 years ago.  But it gives some sadness and finality to see them here.  They had a good run and led the life that they wanted.
