Tombstone Tuesday- Eli Van Voorhis

Theron had a friend that passed away while they were all still in high school.  And since we were near where he was buried, while in Kelseyville, we stopped so Theron could say hi.  Such a hard thing when life ends young.  It was good for us as a family to stop.  My kids have spent no short amount of time in cemeteries but it is rare when we go to visit our own family.  So seeing that the headstones we visit all the time, were real people that lived and loved and had people that loved them was a special time for them.  And because it was someone that their Dad knew and loved made it all the more special. 

Eli, you will always be missed....
