Their remains were put together and buried in one box, in one grave, at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery. FIL had been in the army during WWII, so they had a service with full military honors. It was actually quite nice. I hadn't been sure what to expect, having never been to one of those military services before.
Now on both sides of the family, my husband and I and our siblings are the old generation. It feels odd to think of it; I can only hope we do our predecessors proud.

We are also the oldest generation. Getting the family together is a fine thing. Sharing family heritage stories help to have garments and grandparents live on in future generations. Sending our love to you and your family.
We, too, are the oldest generation and have been for many years now. It isn't as odd now as it was early on - becoming the elders does have its advantages (from the book "What are Old People For")
