Gullah Book of the Dead 

This journey was hard for me because my grandfather just passed away and going to the cemetary made me cry.  I thought about how people could feel when they had to bury a young child. It was nice that the graves had toys that might have been a favorite thing for the children who died. Because people cared, they left special gifts for the family member's spirit to receive.
