The Jewett City Cemetery
​Jewett City Connecticut

Grampa Ralph and Nana Potts are buried here to the left of my painting under the large oak tree. Daddy would take me here when I was a little girl. Daddy would always say, “There is one plot next to Grandy. If I can’t be buried with Uncle Bob, please make sure I am here.” Daddy would then take a long puff on his cigar and end with, “But I want you next to me. What will we do?” I would always say, “Daddy, that’s a long way away.” “No” he would reply, “Time is just a blink of the eye.” The next time I blink my eye, Mom, Daddy and I will be together at the “new” cemetery in Pachaug with Uncle Bob near by. I’m sad the famous Stott twins are not side by side. But, I did my best.
