I grew up in the mountains and used the Bow Valley as a play ground including the cemetery where all my family is buried. As kids we often had a picnic at the cemetery and checked out the old grave stones. In the winter we tobogganed down from the hoodoos above the cemetery. Out of my interest in the cemetery I became the family historian and love to follow the family lines, including where each family member is buried. Find a Grave has been so helpful, and now I can honour those who have passed in another way.
