I stopped by St. Mary's to visit Dad's grave site after church today. Some of the leaves in the cemetery are starting to change.

When Becky was living here with my nephews between 2007 and 2009 she would take them to the cemetery to visit Dad's grave. She would sometimes stop by the statue pictured above.
