Vital Records

Tonaquint Gravestone

Location : Tonaquint Cemetery, Washington County, Utah
Inscription: Besides this poem, there is also a family tree engraved on the backside:

Walking with Grandma and Grandpa, I like to walk with Grandma and Grandpa. Their steps are short like mine. They never say "Now hurry up". They always take their time. Most people have to hurry, they never stop to see. I'm so glad that God made grandparents, "unrushed" and young like me.
