Montreal and her beautiful Royal Mount
Montreal is known for many things..
One of my favorite is Mount Royal..an old extinct volcano, that eons ago built this island we live on it is were my husband asked me to marry him...it is where we carved our intials into a tree when we were dating... it is a place of great power...you can feel it everywhere.. Hidden tunnels.. old catacombs.. amazing what one sees when one looks... |

My husband and I attended a geneological tour of the cemetary one year. Yes, it was very interesting. Well worth repeating.

Re: Montreal and her beautiful Royal Mount
did you see this?
Comments: Implausible as it seems, existing press coverage confirms that this is a real epitaph carved into the back of a tombstone located in the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec: JOHN, FREE YOUR BODY AND SOUL UNFOLD YOUR POWERFUL WINGS CLIMB UP THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS KICK YOUR FEET UP IN THE AIR YOU MAY NOW LIVE FOREVER OR RETURN TO THIS EARTH UNLESS YOU FEEL GOOD WHERE YOU ARE! MISSED BY YOUR FRIENDS The headstone, which some accounts mistakenly place in the nearby Mount Royal Cemetery, belongs to John Laird McCaffrey, who died in 1995 at the age of 54. By forming an acrostic using the first letter of each line, a secret message is revealed: "**** YOU." With friends like these, it's safe to say Mr. McCaffrey needed no enemies. |
