The Kolze's have the tallest monument in St. Johannes. She tells the story about the family gathering at the gravesite when the monument was erected and everyone pondering on how long it would take before a plane hit it. The evergreen tree planted nearby was shadowed by the monument. Years ago, my mother tried to gain access to the cemetary and was turned away by a guard who said this was a paupers cemetary wand nobody could access it. About 5 years ago I took my mother back and she was able to take photos and talk again about this side of the family. Maybe this is what cemetaries are all about - not just remembering the past but sharing the knowledge of family. When all is said and done, what do we really have but family.
