For Memorial Day Steve and I went to some of his family's grave sites. It really nice to be able to do this and spend the time talking about some of his family members that have passes away. I didn't grow up really doing that, and so I have only done it one year with all my family members in California. Someday I would love to go back and do the same thing. We also decided to go and visit President Hinckley's grave, especially since this is the first Memorial Day that he hasn't been around. We didn't know exactly where it was and so we drove around the cemetary until we found it. Luckily, it didn't take us too long to find it. His tall memorial headstone (not really the headstone, but I don't know what you call it) is made out of stone from the Salt Lake Temple and Conference Center. I thought this was so cool that they were able to do that. Of course lots of people had put flowers over his grave. So many, in fact, that you couldn't even see his headstone or Marjorie's very well. There were letters from what looked like small children placed over his grave too. He is definitely a missed prophet from people of all ages.
