    Spreading His Ashes <3

    Over Memorial Day weekend my kids and I all flew up to Maine to spread Lonny's Ashes. He was raised in a small town on the coast and considered that his home so I decided that would be a good place for him. I rented a house in the town he lived in and we had a lovely time walking around and...

    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    First off, Happy Memorial Day! A HUGE thanks to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country! Let me preface by admitting that I have discovered that I am a huge hypochondriac. I was sick with a upper respiratory spell for a few weeks. Sore throat, terrible coughing, etc...All...
