Montreal and her beautiful Royal Mount

[Céline]

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..

Hi Celine, are you referring to Mount Royal cemetary?

[Céline]

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

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.
