The volunteers gather anticipating the arrival of the wreath trucks.

Everyone waits to get a wreath to place.

Some wreaths are placed by relatives on the stone of people they
know. Others are placed by volunteers on graves of folks they don't know.
It's a time of reflection for everyone.

Morrill and Karen Worcester place a wreath at the grave of a friend.

Morrill and Karen remember Justin Rollins with Justin's father.
