St Louis, Mo - The purpose of our trip.

This is the home where the Luenstroth family lived.
The Chapel at St Peters Cemetary in St Louis.

Rev. John Johnson conducted the service.

Jan and Grayson after the service.

Joyce and her roommate Debbie.

The final resting place - and the rain stopped.


The real purpose of our trip was to take the ashes of Grandmother Elizabeth home to St Louis to be buried next to her beloved Harold. The burial was to be one year after her death on May 15, 2009. Jane got sick and so could not be there. Rev. John Johnson, a Presbyterian mimister and friend of the family, conducted the service. The night before we had dinner together with John. The next day the Heavens opened and pored gallons of water on the cemetary. We were able to have the service in the chapel. John did a wonderful job. Elizabeth would have been so pleased.
After the service, we visited their old home place. It is a beautiful old section of town. The next day, Joyce got the realtor to let her tour the home. She took lots of inside pictures. She said everything looked the same. We had already left for Branson.
