I just got back from Hawaii and see that Hawaiians do the same as Mexicans. They also put solar-powered lights on the headstones so the cemeteries are lit up at night with bright,colored lights.

"Why doesn't his son keep that grass trimmed?" she'd say. Well, as so often happens nowadays, the son lived 500 miles away. (Anyway, the cemetery caretakers kept the grass mowed, although maybe not as often as Mom through appropriate.) We can't always visit the cemetery, but we can honor our families by researching them, as you say, and also living by the best of the values they passed on to us.
