Look, Mom! "We made the cover!"

 

I wrote and submitted this piece to the Association for Gravestone Studies in December 2021. For various reasons, it was delayed until now.

Mom was admitted to Memory Care in fall 2022 but she still shared stories about this trip and would have been thrilled to see the story of our trip to see the grave of the Greenbrier Ghost in print. She passed this April.

She had worked at a newspaper and knew the importance of the printed word and storytelling. She would have yelled, “we made the cover!”
