Aux Sable is one of my favorites simply for its location & beautiful flowers. 💐 I will say it looks a lot better since Dave & I did a lot of work in the older section. It’s definitely one to visit if you love cemeteries!

One beautiful thing about Aux Sable is all of the planted flowers around the headstones.

Antis Walley died around 150 years ago, aged 17. These beautiful flowers surround his monument. 🧡

Today’s headstone feature belongs to little angel Westyn Robert Genens.

He was born May 29, 2007 in Joliet, Illinois, the beloved son of Jeffrey & Sarah (Ostrem) Genens. He was born with congenital heart defects and was described by his parents as a very strong little fighter 💪🏻

He passed away on Aug. 13, 2007 aged 2 months. His headstone is in the unique shape of a tractor 🚜 💛

Rest in Peace Westyn.

This just makes me so upset. I went to get some progress photos from last year. I knew this cemetery was a consistent victim of vandalism when I decided to fix and clean some headstones but it still hurts to see it happen again. So disrespectful!

May 25, 2025 to present! 😮‍💨 Patience and timed and a bit of elbow grease and D/2 completely transformed the Rose family monument inside of Evergreen Cemetery in Morris.

This was the first lot I had the honor of cleaning there. The smaller headstones are still a work in progress!
