  Image009.jpg (63370 bytes) Heavy machinery, including a small crane had to be brought into the cemetery.

  

Image010.jpg (69935 bytes)  We had to hire expert stone setters who took expert care in getting the stone ready to be raised.

Image011.jpg (72691 bytes)  It was exciting to see the first gravestone put back on its base and raised.

Image016.jpg (64029 bytes)   This stone was a different shape and required a little different procedure.

 Abrams.jpg (68863 bytes) After many years, this gravestone can now be read again.

 

  Image002.jpg (76311 bytes) Another stone, this one with the surname Brower, returns to its rightful place after lying face down in the dirt for decades.

 

Image005.jpg (67128 bytes)  Another stone perfectly restored thanks to your donations.
