Robert- it was a 67 year old man.

I know that when we visit my parent's graves, we say to the children "We should put flowers on your great-grandparent's graves."
Maybe those flowers were put on by distant relatives, over the last few years. They weren't original flowers from the funeral.

Madame was important to someone way back when.

It also says "nee Antoinette Sansonet" her maiden name (nee=born) right, Cath?
