The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

rub some dirt on it

The day I learned of George's passing, I told this story to my coworker prior to heariing the horrible news:

I grew up next door to the Roe family.  Our neighborhood was one where all the kids would play all day from morning until night.  Mostly sports related activities.  It's funny what triggers memories, but the Payten Manning commercial where he says rub some dirt on it triggerd this memory:

We were little; I was probably 8 and George was probably 11.  Something happened where George got hurt and started to whine about it.  George Sr. came of the house and acutally rubbed dirt on George's leg.  And, magically, it was all better.

Great memories!!
