Walk among these weather worn links to the past and listen with your heart. Hear their stories of days gone by, of life, of love, of memories. Reach out your hand and feel the warmth that can be found in the cold marble marking the passing of a life from this plane. It is a warmth that celebrates the memory of each person as it mourns life's ending. Even the most faded gravestone, the carefully carved letters barely decipherable after the passage of years, speaks to us of the struggles and triumphs of an all too brief existence. Bound to a common fate, destined to sleep in these regimented rows, pause for a moment to reflect. You are a link in a chain spanning the gap between the past and the future. Learn from the dead of the wonder of life. Let the perspective of eternity show you the preciousness of each moment. There are lessons to be learned in a cemetery.

Can you listen with your heart?
