• “I am beyond thankful to the Broken Bow Cemetery landscaper for helping me find my great grandparents gravesite. He suggested I go to the City Clerk to get the area and row of my family. It worked and after walking half the gravesites, I finally saw an area marker. Within minutes, after the previous hour in 85-degree sun, I found their gravesite.” (Heather Houston 3-30-26)
• “I am grateful for my resilience in finding my great grandparents gravesite as it was quite the ordeal. You have to imagine, I was in the Choctaw back country with sundown on its way and somewhat lost. Maps had me go to several incorrect locations which left me in areas without service or a map. Luckily I am resourceful and retraced my route to a small nursery and tracked down the owner. With her help, she directed me down the road to the rural cemetery. It was quite large and without a clue where to look I just kept walking the rows methodically. I was tired and worn out and called out loud for a sign from the Universe. As O passed an oak tree, several oak seed pods dripped and bounced a row down. When I explored what had made the sound and had dropped, it was at my great grandparents gravesite. Thank you Universe.” (Heather Houston 3-30-26)
• “I am beyond blessed and grateful for the 77 eagle sightings 🦅 to and from the pilgrimage to Broken Bow. 7 generations in the past and 7 generations forward we’re looking out for me to find my roots. I also think they were a sign of protection for my Auntie Sue during her surgery.” (Heather Houston 3-30-26)
