Memorial Day preparation

In preparation for Memorial Day, my Mom (Shirley (Raczkiewicz) Longwell went to Holy Cross Cemetery several times. She edged the grass around the graves and did other clean up. The last visit was to take care of any final touches and pull up the hidden vases and fill them with flowers. She also checked that all the veterans had American flags (previously placed by volunteers.) She went to the office to get extras for the ones that were missed. Because I was alone this time, we took pictures of all the graves plus some areas of the cemetery that were meaningful. Most of the family graves are in the section of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is on a hill and is a memorial for Polish war veterans and normally (when it is not a pandemic) a Mass would take place there. Another section has the large cross. There are several mausoleums. The one pictured is where Anthony and Ceil Raczkiewicz (Jr.) are located.
