Constant Guardians

So cold to the touch but comforts our hearts our loved ones in repose are constantly watched over...Graceland Cemetery...










"The Crusader" (Lorado Taft).  Marker for newspaper publisher Victor Lawson. 










*Out of respect for those buried and/or any surviving relatives, 
the remainder of photographs are sans family information*








I'm drawn to this grave site every time.  The Faceless Angel watches over its charges.






















This was tucked behind another marker and some shrubs.  It says; "Happiness is what lies on the other side of his master's door." (Charlton Ogburn Jr. (1911-1988), U.S. writer).
