Well, for many of us on the 4/10 schedule, tomorrow is the start of one of those cherished 4 day weekends. Memorial Day is a good time to remember not just our veterans, but others of our family and friends who have left mortality. One of the most inspiring sites to me in Provo is our cemetery decorated with flowers on so many gravesites. While it is super crowded over the weekend, it is worth a drive by or a walk through to experience what has come to be a bit of a sacred site for me. And our cemetery crew, supported by others in Parks and Recreation, take enormous efforts at creating a beautiful place this day and every day for those who come there.
