Remember Them. Remember Me.

Visiting a cemetery,  a pastor noticed a pile of urns stacked one upon another.  He asked the attendant if they were his stock of empties.  The attendant replied reluctantly, "They contain the ashes of bodies that have been cremated, but the relatives never thought enough to return and claim them." -James Frasier

When a yahrzeit comes we remember.  When certain actions remind us of things they said or did the dead come alive.  Nobody wants to be forgotten and it is up to us to not forget their teachings and passing on the lesson of memory.
