What wonderful people. Soon your mother will have a respectful marker for her final resting place, thanks to them.

That's lovely for you Elizabeth.

I have to say, I live overseas and have been astounded as the fabulous help and information I have received from the libraries in the UK.

I am glad that you now have somewhere to visit, it may sound a bit lame but a good way to help your grief is to light a candle once a year and you pick the date, perhaps the date that you found her resting place. If you find a nice scented candle it just helps a bit...

Just an idea though.

All the best
