At home, our All Saints and All Souls remembrance~

Christina at work.

Today a group of us joined Anna's (+) mom, Melissa, brother Sam and sister, Alice, at the children's area of our local cemetery.   

We worked together to tidy up the grave markers and beautify them with fresh flowers.

There were scrub brushes and buckets and spray bottles and sponges... 

all put to use in the clean up effort.

Our gathering on this All Souls Day also provided us an opportunity to pray 

together at Anna's grave, which was beautifully decorated.  

A little over a month ago Anna left us... but her eternally beauty remains.

Dear Anna~
Pray for us!
