Finding the burial spot.
The cone marks the next burial spot, not theirs. So Heather dashed in
with an umbrella to obscure it for the picture.
The grandchildren and greats:
Adam, John, Holly, Heather, Alison
Liam, Tessa, Colin
Lunch afterwards was at a place on the edge of Lake Michigan that
Larry remembered his mom enjoying.
And back to the Homestead
The plan had been a dinner picnic by the pond, but the rain made that less

Kitty remembered Sean's birthday with a cake. He's a friend of John's and
is living at the Homestead as the caretaker.
