Brokenhearted Wife


We don't know who S.B. McC. was, but this simple tombstone in
 Confederate Circle at Old Live Oak Cemetery was erected
 by his broken-hearted wife. 

Thanks to guest photographer Kathy Prince for this photograph!

    It doesn't get much simpler or to the point than that.

    It is always very sad to lose someone so close to you in the family....you can feel her pain.

    Very sad, but also kind of sweet --- it makes me wonder about these two people, and what they were like.

    Thanks for linking up on Taphophile Tragics!!
