"The area includes twin white crosses for two 12-year-old twin brothers, who died on the same day in a fire."

I haved always wondered abou these boys. I often leave little toys and things at their grave. The interesting thing is that they were both born on the same day a year apart, and they died on their birthday 7 or 8 years later.

I awlays thought it might have been a fire or other accident. I can't imagine the pain their parents went through.

One of my favorite cemetaries.
