Always interesting reading your Let Us Remember posts, Johnny.

Yesterday, for some reason, I watched a lot of YouTubes about the burial places of Hollywood stars (including Debbie and Carrie below, about 2mins into the video) having come across the series 'Hollywood Graveyard'.



It was quite a strange experience, you felt very sorry that they had been reduced to a small space in the ground or in a mausoleum. but you knew that they also still lived on in film and in people's memories - and if you believe. in eternity or in another dimension/reality.
