Dear friends, As with every year, staff and volunteers work to maintain the Fullerton cemetery. This year we purchased a loader tractor to help with filling holes and leveling gravesites. Just last week a large tree that was split by a lightning strike had to be removed.

When our son was three years old, he was a horribly picky eater. If he could just eat mac and cheese, hot dogs, and pizza, then life was fine. But that mac and cheese had to be from a box, the hot dogs had to be the right color, and he would not eat anything but “blue pizza.
