Headstones Part I

A couple of months ago our extended family gathered at the Salt Lake City cemetery for a tour of prominent LDS gravesites. It was absolutely fascinating! We are so grateful that Dad would take the time to lead us around to the final resting places of so many church leaders. I am including some of the better pictures here - I will write other posts from time to time with some of the other pictures of headstones that we took. Today I am posting some of my favorite ones, hope that you enjoy the show!

This is up at the top of a hill, overlooking the lower half of the cemetery. Beautiful location but for the love of Pete, please don't try and push a two-person stroller up the grassy hill to the gravesite. Coming down is even worse . . .
