Baby Boy Resurrection

Welcome back to VTR. Thank you for taking some of your valuable time to watch our little channel.
Recorded on August 3, 2024
In today’s video, I lm back out at Olive Branch Cemetery and have to work fast as a funeral is taking place shortly (the possession came through as I was driving away). I am able to clean the grave stones of 6 little infants and bring them back to their original beauty and respect.
If you’d like to donate to the channel and help us buy supplies and graveside decor you can leave a donation by clicking the “THANKS” button.
Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for what you do. Many of the children are born and passed in the ‘50s and probably most of their family is going to be gone or unable to care for these stones. It is such a blessing that someone still cares ❤

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Thank you so much, SeptemberVirgo! Is there anything in particular you would like your donation to go towards?

I am very proud of Ronin. We bicker a lot while out there usually...but he always knows he has done a good thing afterwards when he comes out.

Sorry about my typing if it was a bit confusing . I have Myasthenia Gravis and the pills l take give me foggy brain .

You are a blessing for what you do. The baby boy resurrection is the saddest for some reason. Will have to see if there is an obit for him. Hugs from Arkansas

Thank you for your wonderful work, Christopher. The stones came out looking very nice.

[@lmbclm4]

From the UK,thankyou for fixing up those head stones,it keeps those babies alive in our hearts & minds,me & my daughter penny 9 love watching you both & it’s encouraged her to go to cemeteries with me as she wasn’t to keen before.👍🏻🌹🌷😊😎🌼🌸

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Wonderful!

[@YTmama-c1o]

I think I have seen other You Tubers use a little umbrella-type attachment over their phones/cameras to keep them a little cooler. Maybe that would help some. Anyway, when I see these birth and death dates like 1957 I was only 7 years old that year. Never could I have ever imagined then that little babies and children could actually die. I can only imagine my response would have been intense sadness ...and fear. Bless you for working so hard for these little ones and to shine a light on their sweet names once again.❤💐 Wouldn't it be so nice if their parents were still alive and they could see how nice their little one's marker looks now. They could be alive...maybe in their 90's?

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

It’s possible. Ronins great grandmother is 94 and still kicking. I’ve been r seen the little shade things. I’ll look into them. ☺️

[@SandiMoore-c8i]

Fantastic jobs you are great at what you do. Remember to drink when your out in the heat like this, lemonade real lemons with some sugar and ice in it. Bless you 💜🦋

[@kellymcfadden7514]

Hi Christopher! Awesome work! They look great. As one not far from you, is getting a new stone, you are making theirs look new! ❤️I looked up Doris on find a grave, I had wonder if she maybe passed from SIDS? You put their photos up too? That is so nice of you! You are such a sweet soul! Take care, be safe!

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Yeah, I try to update their find a graves with new before and after photos and if they don't have a page, I create one for them.

[@kellymcfadden7514]

@@VirginiaTombstoneRevivalNice!

[@Lisa..4]

This is so neat that you take the time to do this. I hope it catches on and people do this in their local cemeteries.

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

That’s the idea behind this for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@DebbieBurns-y5e]

Those look really nice! 😊❤

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Thank you! The flats ones are pretty easy and fun. The upright ones are the ones that make you work. Haha

[@speedysmoke]

You had a busy day. As always, great job. All of these were just about my age. I think it's really sad some do not have names 😢. Thank you for caring. Hope the storms miss you.

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Just raining a bit currently, but we are prepared just in case.

[@YTmama-c1o]

In the 1950's and earlier it was the custom to not name babies who were stillborn. I think the parents were counseled to not be "too attached" to a baby who had passed...which I find dreadfully sad for parents. My belief is if you are born, you should have a name...if that is more comforting to the parents. Thankfully more and more parents in subsequent years DID name their little ones, if they wanted to

[@kathleenorr9237]

You were certainly busy! Fabulous job as always ❤

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Thank you! 😊

[@falltravels4049]

Buy whatever you need but if you could put a little plastic flower for little Baby Boy Resurrection I would appreciate it. Just want to show the little guy some love.

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Thank you! We absolutely will for you. ☺️

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

So far just a little rain.

[@efj0096]

Please stay safe

[@silvanasala5769]

You do a wonderful job for these little ones, but it's sad that there are no flowers or puppets ,but is it possible that they no longer have any living relatives?

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Good chance with a lot of these older ones. Not sure in every case though.

[@habslover2306]

Spratley parents are buried same cemetery. Looks like they might have had a daughter. Lorraine was survived by one, and Lorraine died before her husband.

[@gruenewolke]

I just found the grave of the parents, too. On find a grave you can see quite a big stone on olive branch cemetery. Lorraine died 1973 and Leon passed away 1981

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

I have located them there. They aren’t close to their child, but at least at the same place…so that made me happy.

[@gruenewolke]

@@VirginiaTombstoneRevival, yes, maybe there was no other way to do it

Can you put a small umbrella on your tripod to protect your phone from the heat without it causing shadows for your work??

[@lazydragon9819]

April 5th also my birthday but a a decade almost 2 after his!

[@angelamelville67]

Christopher I think your phone needs a mini reflective umbrella 😅

[@garymaynard7562]

I'm curious how the painted letters and numbers withstand the scrubbing and picking. Something special about the paint? Great work you do and you are so devoted.

[@YTmama-c1o]

Some of the etched names and numbers are not painted, but over the years biological material collects inside the letters and numbers

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

Honestly I’m not really sure about the paint used.

[@lisawilson1818]

You might need something that can shade your phone.
