It's so true, people don't realize- you can literally die of a broken heart. Happens to animals, too.

[@sarahnoellsch8026]

That's so sad😢

[@joy-to7dx]

My uncle dead of a broken heart he didn't want to be alone.😥

[@shoppingfeind09]

My dad had a chicken who laid eggs, nursed them, but after a while it became apparent that they were not fertilized, and she wouldn’t let him take the eggs away so they were there till they rotted. Took them away once they rotted, and two days later that same chicken was found dead. It was in a secure coop, no sign of a struggle, it just died of a broke heart.

This really reminded me of my grandparents, my grandfather had died early in the morning, and just a few hours later my grandmother (his wife) passed away as well. They were destined to be together forever and it warms my heart every time i think of it. Rest well gram and grandpa.

Thank you for not just cleaning the gravestones but telling peoples stories, it’s hard to remember that everyone else you meet has a life just as complicated and interesting as your own, and I love seeing headstones and thinking “I wonder what thier story was.”

[@beatrixpoley9100]

I really like that you say “ I would like to introduce you to _____”. I think it a unique way to start your videos since often times I can’t read the names starting out. Lovely, thank you for doing what you do!

I'm sure these people are looking down on you, cleaning their headstones, and thanking you. You do a wonderful, kind job for these people who were forgotten to the sad thing we know as time.

[@ashlearhodeskim3112]

He died of a broken heart and yes in the medical industry we do call it that. I have worked in Age Care for 10 years and have not yet had a case of it. Though waking one struggle to live after the loss is heartbreaking. I once sad with a resident as she sobbed in my arms asking how does she live without him. And my own grandmothers were the same after losing my grandfathers. The cry of a spouse is so deep and sorrowful.

[@erikachristensen3363]

I grew up in Marion in the early 90’s and my Dad worked at Kodak! So cool to hear this history!!!❤

I believe you have been given a very special calling. The genealogical as well as the historical aspect is fascinating. Also, the respect that you show the gravestones, and the devotion that you show to those departed is truly heartwarming. Thank you.

I went to cavehill cemetery recently (when I visted family) and how many babies were buried there (cave hill is very very old) hurt me...and how many young teens and children were burried and some of them are so old the grave are weathered and cracked and unreadable and it made my heart ache thank you for cleaning graves of the deceased!❤

My great great grandmother died after her 13th died from pneumonia At 5 months old (1911) she had already lost three other children 3 months prior to this within a 6 month period from pneumonia. Her last words 2 hours after she buried the 5 month old baby were “I can’t live much longer like this” and not even 15 minutes later she died while laying by their graves in their yard crying.. it’s devastating!

[@sandymywayofcooking1853]

Oh my God 😢how sad

[@pinupzombie2273]

@@sandymywayofcooking1853 times back then were harsh, they owned a lot of farming land. My great grandma helped my great great grandfather care for the rest of the kids before leaving to VA to be a cosmologist for 20 years, she wondered back here a few years after going through school and that’s when she met my great grandfather. That side of the family was out of Aurora, NC where her youngest brother passed last month he was 92 and was the last surviving family member of my grandma mothers family, he was WWII and Korea veteran where he retired from the Army and worked as a police officer for another 20 years!
