My husband found your site and it is very interesting because one of the cemeteries was called McDonald-Ramsey where my parents are buried, along with other relatives............but we call it the Corum cemetery. Where did you come up with the name McDonald-Ramsey? just curious

There's no sign up there identifying the cemetery - no road sign, nothing, so when I run into cemeteries like that, and there's no one out to ask, I just post it as either the name that's on the first tombstone going in, or by which stones have most of the same names.

Hi I just wanted to comment on Traci.I would give anything to have more pictures and more written journals of my granny b4 she passed. I miss her and we have very few pictures of her. I think what u are doing is great not only for you but for your grandkids as well. You keep doing what you are doing and hold your head up high, you are doing NOTHING wrong! Keep him happy and full of love!

Thanks again, Jennifer. Miss Traci has gone awfully quiet. Maybe seeing the perspectives of others has given her something to think about, and maybe even a change of heart.

Hi I just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful and tasteful job on this website. I appreciate the fact that you have kept these graveyards alive even though many of them have been forgotten. Thank you for posting my pictures of my family graveyard! (Harley)

Its people like Traci that prod me to add my comments though others beat me to the punch! I can at least add MY thoughts and confirm in MY opinion, that This Site is Amazing, Wonderful and a Tribute to so many that would otherwise slip into faded memory or go unnoticed or forgotten completly. Aside the virtual cemetary visits to places Many of us will likely be Unable to go physically, we learn a bit of history and occasional backround on those that have passed on, or are dealing with facing the inevitable. Obviously, there are people in this world that DO apparently want others to pass silently in the night, unknown or unrecognized. Good or bad, we are human and live on this earth sharing our lives and intertwined with others during the journey.
I for one, would be honored if one day, (A LONG time from now) that I too would be remembered on a site like this!!
It takes a small weak mind to be critical without understanding the bigger picture; And as far as I am concerned an even smaller and dimmer heart to involk "Godly" assistance while condeming anothers view .... anonimously.
Traci... crawl back under the rock from which you slithered out from and say a few prayers for yourself. perhaps that someone might recount your life & remember you when your time draws near.
Juels, Thankyou for keeping this site alive, as well as memories of those found within it. May others be enlightened and find peace in getting to know others from all that is shared.

a message for Traci...You must be one ignorant, lonely,and selfish person.Juel happens to be one of the most wonderful people in the world and anyone would be fortunate to have her as a friend. If I were you, I would be so so embarrassed at what you wrote. We should all be so lucky to have such a loving family as Papaw does. It's the highpoint of my day to look at the pictures and see all the love that this family shares. If this was my webpage, you and your message would have been deleted as fast as I could have.An apology to Juel is in order from you and then please please go far away from all of us who love Juel.

Thank you Jana, I love ya too. :) We delete junk posted here all the time, and I started to delete this one as junk, but then it vexed me that another human being would be so cold that I couldn't help but respond. Thanks for being you Jana. :)
Juel's MOM
WOW just read the note left by Traci...this is a reply too you my dear and I 'll try to be as civil as possible ..First off I am Juel's mother...and let me add a few things that she hasn't said to you ..I am very proud of her website..and before you make a judgement call on her.. YOU come and visit my home ..watch the treatment her grandfather has recieved in the past year that he's lived with me and still getting..Little info on him for you my dear ..A family member put him in a nursing home ..YES there he was alone and sick ..Now I don't hold anything against this family member..she did what she had to do ..then so did I when I took him out .. and brought him here..This year has been the very best he's had in many sweetie..with good help from my kids and a neice we managed to see him laugh ..play with HIS great,great grand children ..ECT ECT..and Juel shared it all with kin folk in the north via her website...Now Traci we don't owe you or anyone else any explanation as too what and why we've done anything for her grand father...But speaking as her mother ..I want YOU too know I'm very,very proud of her and her website..and YES I too can continue this if you'd like...How about leaving your email addy or some way I can speak to you on a personal basis..Or are you a Coward? Could it be that you're one of those that would treat a loved one with such disrespect as too shove him aside and wish he'd GO AWAY?...He's a real person Traci ..and we aren't the shoving aside kind...Have a good day sweetie.. Thank you Francis I appreciate your kind words and glad you've enjoyed Juel's website ..Visit often as she'll be adding more each day ..I agree with you Francis.. Traci is one ignorant Gal..

Hi Juel..just wanted to drop you a note about your website..and too let you know I come here daily...I finally got up enough courage too write to you ..after reading that horrible note traci left to you..I think it's a wonderful way to keep memories of you and your grandfather alive many years after his passing ..You sound like you've enjoyed many good times with him ..and thank God your mom and dad and your family was there for him ..Because yes Juel there are so many of our elderly parents and grandparents shoved away in some nursing home to die alone..(sad thought isn't it?)...I've not only enjoyed reading and watching your children grow and play via your website..I've enjoyed the humor you share with them as well...thank you for sharing your family with those of us out there with No family at all ..You've brightened each and every day for me ..Keep up the good work ..and over look the ignorance of * Traci*

Thanks for posting this, I truly appreciate it. :) I'm glad that someone else sees it the way I do. He's not some broken toy to throw away and forget about, or hide. He's a human being with feelings, emotions and I refuse to pretend he's not here with us, or that he's not a part of our lives. He's here, he's part of us, and he will be included on my journal for as long as this is so, right along with my kids and my grandkids. Thank you again for your post!
traci
I think you are not so much peculiar as you are twisted. HOW dare you EXPLOIT your GRANDFATHERS LAST DAYS. What gives you the right. Do you think if'n he knew what was going on he would appreciate it??? Death is a final private farewell and celebration into a new life. Not a board for you to post your demented words and pictures of a dying man for your own twisted pleasure. May God help you because you really need it JUEL... More to come

Hello Traci. Thank you for stopping by to leave your opinion here in my guestbook. I'd like to address your comments in as civilized fashion as possible, I'm sorry if my reply makes your face burn with embarrassment or shame.. but I'm gonna call this one like I see it.
My grandfather, (let's call him "Papaw" because that's what he likes to be called) is fully aware of my photo taking. He is fully aware too that I post my photos of him here on my website. Some days he doesn't feel like having his picture taken, so I don't take it. Some days he tells me, "Juel, take my picture." Some days, he just smiles and lets me take it because that's what I do.
Exploiting my papaw. I think if you see it that way, there's something wrong with you. You are the twisted one, not me. You are the kind who would rather have an old man die alone, in a closet, or a nursing home with no one around to comfort him, no friends, family, just go do it by yourself old guy, if you're gonna do it.. don't subject my sensitive eyes and ears to it type eh? All I can say to you in response to that attitude is that I hope you have children, and I hope they have your very same attitude. Then one day, you can die all by yourself without offending anyone's sensitivities.
Yes, Traci, there is more to come. Just sit and watch. Papaw's not dead yet. I visit him every day. We talk and laugh about something every day. I post my visits with him on my journal. I refuse to put him in a closet, have him die in 'private'. He's a part of my life. I'm a part of his. If you don't like it, click that little x on the top of your monitor and take your ass off of my website.
GOD
You're doing a good job my child. Keep up the good work!
