I told you in a earlier post that we had found Ansel's parents graves had been unmarked for 60 years. Ansel was visiting the Memorial Park for the first time, at the time of both of their deaths, the weather and the roads were really bad and he couldn't make the trip down from Burns, OR. After visiting with the park staff, they told us that they would put some temporary markers on the graves, and gave us information on purchasing stones. Ansel wanted to think about the purchase some. The last morning we were in San Diego we went by to see the markers.
Ansel, 94 years old, leaning on his cane (which he just started to use at Christmas time) reflecting on his parents, while looking at their final resting place in the Glen Abbey Memorial Park, Chula Vista, CA.
One more piece of Ansel's facinating life story is put together. It had troubled him that he couldn't remember when his Dad had died or where he was buried.

Wow Cyndy, this is some trip to find Ansel's roots...You're a pretty awesome person for making this happen for him! Hope you had fun along the way.
Thanks Court, It's been really fun to see these places that Ansel talks about and the timing was perfect to get away from the Central Oregon cold and ice. love cyndy
