Cemeteries seem to inspire macabre stories and legends. No more so than a certain graveyard in Illinois that has a statue who many claim will show you how you'll die someday.
This year I did something different for Memorial Day weekend. I took the kids to each of the major cemeteries in the area, to show them how different cemeteries show commitment to remembering those who proudly served our country.
I am constantly amazed how each cemetery continues to have great volunteers put flags out at each cemetery...
A plaque that until this year few knew existed has gone missing. The marker is believed to represent the the final resting place of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991. For over 20 years no one knew where Mercury's ashes were scattered, and now the plaque believed to represent just that spot has seemingly blown away in the wind.
