Tombstone mistakes are still made today. My Uncle Tobe's tombstone reads "To Be McCullough". he died in 1999. Instead of all the taking out and putting back, the family decieded to leave it and take a discount on the stone. 2011/2/8 Shirley Martys <[email protected]> > > As I worked on putting memorials on Find A Grave, I know I have had typos > and Don and I have both agreed to help each other correct those errors as we > come across them.
