April 28, 2017 - Spring is certainly showing off with its many beautiful colors and various shades of green. It is, as always, the perfect season to stop and reflect on treasured memories and how blessed we are. Our loved ones will be honored at the Willow Grove Homecoming on Saturday, May 6, 2017. It will be a day of fellowship, fun and food. It is also the time of year we contribute to our cemetery fund. We find it our responsibility and honor to pass on this tradition and our heritage to our children.
We will begin the morning with a stroll through the cemetery. Our group meeting will begin at 11am followed by a pot luck dinner in the Willow Grove Fellowship Hall. Everyone contributes dishes and everything is always most delicious.
If you were unable to attend last year, but will this year, you will see our new addition to the cemetery. The new six-foot directory allows anyone to walk up and locate their family gravesite by name and grid. We have gotten many compliments on it and its usefulness. As always, we spotlight Lennis Holt for taking care of the back forty. We also appreciate Bill Davis for keeping the inside grounds so nice. If you see them be sure to thank them!
We are hoping you will make the Homecoming this year. Should you not be able to and would still like to contribute please make checks payable to: Willow Grove Cemetery Fund and send to Willie Edwards, P.O. Box 71, Joaquin, Texas 75954. His telephone number is 936-269-3236.
