My Forest Is a Graveyard

Elaine Mansfield

Vic died on June 3, 2008 and his ashes were the first to go in the forest. You’ll figure that out,” he said, “but I’d like my ashes buried under the big Red Oak on the forest knoll so what’s left of this body can fertilize that tree.” After his death, my sons built a stone cairn on the knoll and we buried Vic’s ashes there.
