Yesterday, Elroy arranged for a private ceremony to place some of Peggy's ashes in a niche at Punchbowl where Elroy plans to have his own ashes placed when the day comes. We had a nice simple ceremony, led by Clarence Liu. It was just myself, Eric, Elroy, Mike and Putter. It was nice to have a quiet family moment - I think that Elroy especially appreciated this intimate, peaceful moment.
We want to share the location of Peggy's grave site/niche so all can visit. It is at Punchbowl National Cemetery (also known as the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific). She is located in the upper niche area, Court 11 - Wall 0 - Grave # 300-350.
We took the perfect plant to place below her niche. It was a living Christmas fir with a penguin in it! So Peggy! Currently, there is just a temporary placard there. The real engraving will be ready in a couple weeks. Right now it says Peggy's real name "Mary M. Chun".
Both of my grandfather's grave sites are in the same niche area, a few courts away from Peggy. It was nice to visit them yesterday. It is so beautiful up there.
