It was really funny when the oldest son thought he was seeing a ghost at the graveyard! :lol:

Well, at first I thought it sounded weird, but after I read the article, it was really kind of sweet. The dad was a grave digger for 50 years, so his children came together to perform that service for him.

Where is this "Richmond," anyway? I don't think it is in VA.

I don't have a problem with children digging their father or mother's grave. That's the way it was done back in the "old days." It's far worse a tragidy when a parent has to dig a grave for their child.
