Brenda, Lorenne, Clay, Steve and I went to Dad's grave site at the National Memorial Cemetery in Scottsdale, AZ.

It is a very interesting cemetery, xeriscaped with natural Arizona foliage, no water/energy wasting grass.  Unusual for a northerner, like me.

For those that didn't know, John served in the Army in Europe during World War II.  We were able to utilize his V.A. benefit to pay for the burial he desired.

He wanted to be buried "green".  No embalming and biodegradable casket.  Not something I even new existed, but he did his research and with the help of the V.A. we were able to give him this last wish.
