This morning we met with our estate planner/lawyer to talk about our will, then we drove to Spanish Fork Cemetery, where we met Jeffrey to talk about the family burial plots. A few years ago Jeffrey bought 15 plots in a new section of the cemetery over on the east side. There are only a couple of plots left in the old Lewis section, and none near the Sarah Jane Lewis family on the east side. So Jeffrey wanted to start a new section for his siblings and descendants.
We spent a couple of hours with the sexton looking at the plots available. Tomorrow they are opening a row of plots that run right through the ones Jeffrey bought–it was a water easement that they will release and make available. Jeffrey wanted to secure them to add to our section. John and I have had plots south of the old family section, off on our own. He bought those plots for $800 for my 40th birthday. We’ve decided to trade those in for plots in Jeffrey’s new section so we can be with the family.
John and I ended up deciding to purchase a row of 6 available spaces for future family use. We’ll take 2 of them, right behind the big LEWIS marker Jeffrey installed. He has also installed a headstone for himself and Kathleen. We will be right behind them.
In the future (far future), you can find me right behind this large LEWIS memorial stone. Please drop by for a visit!
