<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure if you all knew this, but Bob's ashes are buried under the cement that his memorial stone is standing on. They simply dug a hole under the side of the cement platform and the ashes were inserted. The stone is under an awning, which is why it's difficult to get a clear picture. The memorial service was nice and several of us (including Justin McBride and I) got to speak, but it was storming and raining pretty hard at the time. Luckily the awning covered us. Maybe it was a sign that Bob was watching us celebrate him! <div>

<p>Hi all,<br>
I'm sending some photos of Bob Rankin's grave marker at the Washunga Cemetery in the area of Newkirk, Oklahoma. I was unable to attend the memorial service a couple of weeks ago, but I'm here in Ponca City now and was able to take these photos. It was hard
to get the sun on the face of the stone, as it faces southwest, but I did my best in two trips. It's a very impressive stone marker situated under a permanent arbor. I hope you can read the inscriptions, which are in both Kansa and English. I'm using the voice
feature on my smart phone (with a little editing), so please excuse any errors.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Kathy Shea<u></u><u></u></p>
