It has been several months since my mother, Nora (Tilly) Mackenzie passed away and I am still trying to fathom what has happened. I know she has passed because her ashes were interred into Harold's grave on 28 January 2023. Harold did not have a marked grave - as shown in the photo on the right and decorated with some artificial flowers - but I told Mom that when she passed, I was going to have the grave upgraded with a headstone and a full slab. She was not particularly enamoured by the idea but she did say how wonderful it would be if all of her sons were to lay together in that grave. Barry (her third-born son) died in 2020 and his family agreed to have some of his ashes interred at the same time as Mom. So now Mom has two sons with her. Her first-born, Victor, died in 1998 and his ashes were held by his second wife, thus none are available to us. I have decided that when I eventually pass, that some of my ashes, too, will be interred in the same grave site. I was never happy that Harold's grave lay unmarked for almost fifty years so when Mom passed, one of my major tasks was to contract a monumentals company to design and construct a whole new 'marking' of Harold's grave.
