Welcome

Welcome to gravespark!

For as long as I can recall my family and I have gone out every memorial day and found one or two really old graves, that needed a little love, to clean and restore. After many years of doing this I decided that it would be even more beneficial as well as fun to continue this project throughout the year. My girlfriend has volunteered this year to help me head up this project.

This blog is an account of all that we have done thus far. Check back often to find before and after pictures as well as stories or anything else we see along the way that is worth sharing.

First donation received!

A big thanks to Dave and Cindy Holcomb of Corvallis for the donation on Tuesday April 28, 2005. Hopefully this will pave the way for a long line of supporters and/or sponsers. Always keep in mind that you don't have to donate to show that your support for what we are doing, a simple quote on our site or e-mail would more than suffice. We always encourage feedback to know that people are enjoying and supporting what we are doing for our community and the memories represented by these tombstones.
