Quadricentennial—Salt Lake
To buy these medallions, I had to designate them for use on the graves of the ancestors whose Mayflower descent enabled my own membership application: my own status as a descendant didn’t count. So, I obediently purchased five medallions, even though I’m a card-carrying (literally) descendant, entitled (one would think) to celebrate the Quadricentennial in my propria persona. Since I can’t use Mammy’s as intended, and since a stone waits patiently in the Salt Lake City Cemetery for Valerie and me, I’d say that I’m only stretching the rules a bit by putting Mammy’s on my own stone.
Mimi Mimi
So, that’s what we’ve done: my darling brother Brent took his Mimi and two of the three remaining medallions to Salt Lake and affixed them (the ornaments, not Mimi) to our gravestone and that of Great-Grandma Neff. It was kind of them to do that for me, inasmuch as I negotiate the uneven terrain of cemeteries with no discernible grace, these days.
