I wonder, too, about legacies. The best most of us can hope for is a rank and file slab of granite far from where we spent our days. Here is a tribute in place, marking where the celebrated life was lived.

What would your memorial say? And where would it be placed to show the center of your life’s work and joy?
Note: Visit Nameless Creek (Fragments Annex) today for the first of several pieces on Roscoe Willis’ Store on Goose Creek. This series is possible because of the kind contributions by several readers after yesterday’s post on Floyd County history. link
that memorial is wonderful….i’ve driven by so many old buildings and stores and wondered what their history was. too bad there aren’t more of these…it’s sad that the history fades away with the neglect of the building…and with no one to tell it. a fitting tribute…and, yes, very heartfelt.
