View all 19 ReflectionsMy 101 year old father (Joe Colbert) and i visited the gravesite this week in Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden, MA. My mother Anna Troy Colbert was a devoted daughter to both James and Anna Troy. She was 12 years old at the time of his death. Family history reports after his death the remarkable Troy family held together by a loving Great Grandmother and Grandfather Miller and James wife Anna. All are buried together at his gravesite. The Boston Police Department decorates his grave each Memorial Day. Thank you.
