Memento Mori: Super & Thrash

I know her name was Helen Super.  I just like the fact that this stone can be read as Super Helen.

Cletus E. Thrash... Now THAT'S a NAME!

Memento Mori: Hereford Mennonite Cemetery

After driving by dozens of times, I finally decided to take a quiet stroll through the back gate of this modest, yet rich-with-history cemetery.  True to the customs of the Mennonite culture, the stones themselves are not overly decorative, yet carry a deep, prideful integrity.  My omnipresent pal Steve noted (as did I) that the proximity to tall, foreboding oak trees and a red brick church (as well as the large number of crooked stones) makes this is the quintessential "movie cemetery" for foggy nights, full moons and frights.  Even the very pitch of the hillside that this scene (and its deceased population) rests upon spells out Spectre Cinema at its finest.

Memento Mori: Most Blessed Sacrament

A peaceful churchyard of stone monuments.  Although I've driven by this place many times over the years, this was the first time my friends and I stopped to take a walk and a visit with some of the locals of decades (and centuries) past.  Church Of The Most Blessed Sacrament.  Route 100. Bally, PA.
