Springtime has arrived in Grayson County. After a mild winter, Spring has arrived with a vengeance! April showers began in March and have lasted well into May. All of the rain has invigorated the grass and Jason Funk and family have had their hands full keeping up – but they continue to do their excellent job of making the cemetery look fantastic.

Decoration Day is just around the corner – Be sure to mark June 25, 2017 on your calendar. We will gather in the cemetery for a visitation and worship service as has been our custom for well over 100 years. Come join us as we carry on grand tradition.

We also encourage you to visit the cemetery before the Decoration to care for your loved one’s graves. Remember, it is YOUR responsibility to clean your family markers (the moss is relentless!). A little care and maintenance each year prevents a build up of lichen which may take hours and much effort to remove. Think of it as laundry – if you put off washing those dirty clothes today, you will have a much bigger pile to clean next week!

Looking forward to seeing everyone next month. If you need anything or just want to talk about the cemetery, give me a call or drop me an email. Look for the newsletter soon!
