Have a sweet tooth? Try Kay's fudge recipe. It is carved into the reverse of her husband's grave marker.

EPITAPHS ARE DIFFICULT TO WRITE. How can one distill life’s trials, triumphs, and meaning into a few words, to be set in stone of all things? Dr. Wade Andrews felt that his long, rich life could only be summed up by his wife’s fudge recipe.

Andrews died in his home in 2000 and was buried in Logan City Cemetery. He was a missionary-turned-soldier, fighting in World War II before earning a doctorate in sociology. He is survived by his wife, Kathryn (Kay), who still lives in Utah. They had five children, 15 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren; thanks to his gravestone, they can now and forever taste exactly what he did when they indulge in Wade’s greatest joy.

Know Before You Go
If you'd like to ask for directions to the grave, the Logan City Cemetery office is open Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
According to an article in AP News, the recipe ecgraved calls for 1 TBS of vanilla. It should have read 1 TSP of vanilla. Oooops!

Thank you to everyone who came to clean gravestones at Union Cemetery over the weekend. We had lovely weather, good company, the leaves were just kissed with color and the setting - perfect. Union Cemetery is adjacent to Union Church and the pairing is quintessential New England.
