On June 4th, family and friends interred the earthly remains of Bob and Lorraine Davis at Arlington National Cemetery. Their ashes now rest in the columbarium. Our placement attendant, Bill, has been one of the people going into jungles in Papua New Guinea and Korea to recover remains and repatriate them. We were extremely glad to have Bill assist. There are temporary markers in place right now, but a permanent plaque should be there by the end of August. Attending were: Jim/ Deb/ Aaron/ Josh Davis; Mike/ Milly Boyt; Lorraine’s sisters Margaret Bush and Signe Ann Thrift; and Jim’s high school friends Steve Steele/ Bill Norris. We were accompanied in spirit and prayer by a host of family, friends and angels. Afterward, we visited the grave of Frederick Elijah Bush, a Pearl Harbor veteran and the father of the sisters.
ANC is kind of the Davis family burying ground, along with Fort Lincoln cemetery in Brentwood MD and Greenwood Memorial Gardens in San Diego CA. There are about eight Davis family members at ANC, and it is the intention of Deb and Jim to join them when we inevitably pass.
