Geocache Description:

Have had several people say the original coordinates were off, so I am putting in some new coordinates. Hopefully, it'll be more accurate now. (If not, use the hint.) Have fun!

I placed this cache in memory of some friends of who have passed away. Their names are written on the cache which is a small rubbermaid container with a white lid. Bring only small items to exchange and bring your own pen/pencil. Feel free to visit my friends whose headstones are all in the vicinity.

Virgil Collins - old neighbor of my family who was a friend and a great role model growing up. He died of cancer in 1995. His grave can be found on the far east side of cemetary - near the trees and the Sangamon River.

Jessica Seward - went to AWANA (church) with me. She was a wonderful, outgoing, beautiful Christian girl with a constant smile. She developed a brain aneurysm right after high school graduation and died soon thereafter. Her stone has her picture and a logbook for visitors. Her stone is closer to the peculiar tree.

Anna Dewhirst - went to school with her and her brother. She died in a car accident a few years back after a speeding car hit her vehicle from behind. She died of brain trauma and her family donated her organs. She was only a freshman in High School. Her stone to the south west of Jessica's.

Adam Abdel-Haq - went to school with him and used to hang out on a semi-regular basis during High School. He loved baseball, football, and the Lord. He was on the way to Indiana for a church trip when he crashed into some sort of hauling truck. He swerved at the last minute which saved the lives of 3 others in his vehicle. Unfortunately, the passenger in the seat behind him also lost his life. Adam had just gotten through his first year of college. His stone is to the north of Anna's and to the west of Jessica's.
