It has almost been 1 year since Grandpa Herzog passed away. The headstone was delivered the other day. We went over there and watched them and snapped a few pictures. It was nice and cool that morning. Aunt Pam was there along with Mrs. Herzog and us.
Since it was at the cemetery right across the road, we just walked and rode bikes over there. It was really neat, because Grandpa got to be buried on his own land. Many years ago he donated some land right behind the existing cemetery from Jacob Shannon who originally settled on the land where the Herzog family farm is. Grandpa and Grandma's plot is at the very beginning of his land that he donated.
We tried to teach the kids about being respectful while in the cemetery and to not walk on peoples graves. Millie was trying to keep Elaina out of someone's plot.
They had nifty equipment that they moved the headstone with.
They did a really nice job. They were very thorough and meticulous.
It turned out very nice. Grandma will be buried right next to Grandpa. They included a photo of them on their wedding day and their anniversary. It is made out of Texas granite.
There is their wedding picture. Their anniversary is September 25, 1948.
