Memorial Day Fishhawk Cemetery - A Pictorial of Passed Lives

Gayle - I feel like I just walked through the Fishhawke Cemerty with you - who would of though a cemetery could be so beautiful and diverse - everythingfrom wind-chimes to a can of heart healthy Campbell's soup. You had quite the adventure GF - you're always filled with surprises! Look for an email tomorrow!

Oh, Gayle, I got goose-bumps when I saw what you said about your horse.  Aside from the fact that she is remarkable, what could you possibly make of such an action? Fascinating! I really love visiting your world.

I love going to old pioneer cemeteries to take pictures. The really old tombstones are really works of arts in some cases.

I hope you Have a Happy Memorial Day Weekend Gayle!

Hi Gayle, I"m glad that I didn't read this post while my Dad was in the hospital with heart problems.  But, now that he is home with some nice medication, I can appreciate the beauty of your pictures. 

It is very interesting about Sommer liking that one stone.  I wonder if the owner might have been a horse person. 

I would love to know the story behind the Campbell's soup.  It's one of those things that will make everyone else wonder but it is a great sign of love by whomever left it.  

Wonderful post sharing another special spot in Fishhawk Lake.

Gayle-I saw this on Facebook and it was wonderful seeing the pics again and reading all the comments. They are all such wonderful pics of not only the surroundings but the history and lives of all those who are laid to rest there and I didn't remember about you and your ashes being scattered there and also 1000 Islands. That is so fitting way for you because of your love of both places. I think it is pretty cool. Also didn't remember the tomato soup tribute, Would love to know the story behind that. I think my fav pic is the path. It is so peaceful looking. Like the road to heaven.

we must remember our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends and acquaintances for their service to our country.  I thank my son for giving the ultimate sacrifice to this country.

Gayle, I loved this touching post and your beautiful photos and captions.  I cannot imagine a better way to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great country of ours.

Good morning Gayle. This is so good. We can learn a lot at the cemetery. While I don't go often, I do find peace and information that surprises me when I do. Beautifully done.

Gayle, I am soooo happy I didn't miss this post and frankly, it sure deserves a feature....I hope you have a great week

Gayle, I enjoyed your walk through the cemetery. You captured the peace and tranquility that is often found on strolls like this. Have a good week.

Gayle - This is a very nice post. It was touching that both the father and son died in two separate wars and were laid to rest together. Some of the artwork is beautiful. I know what you mean about trying to take a picture and getting doggie hugs instead - happened to me about twenty times yesterday with a lot of 'tail shots'. Have a good day!
