- I discovered that world famous and best selling author VC Andrews was buried here at Olive Branch Cemetery. I had always heard of the movie and book, but had never watched or read it. After looking up the synopsis….WOW! Very disturbing indeed.

Read Flowers in the Attic as a teen, loved it. Thank you for doing this ❤
Wow what a big job to tackle. It is looking good. Flowers in the attic was also a good movie. I remember watching it years ago. It was a real good movie. Scary/suspense. I am glad this got a good cleaning. The book and the writing on the back of the tombstone is beautiful.
Gosh! That’s one was a huge task! Turned out beautifully. 😊 another great job VTR (Christopher).
Thank you, Lisa. Definitely the new largest monument we have taken on.
I was a reader as a girl but didnt read hers/never tempted by her work/story lines. Preferred happy endings. Had friends who enjoyed it. Very sweet of you to do this and make her fans happy.
Another fabulous job, and thank you for sharing her story as growing up. Take care 💜🦋
Thank you for the VC Andrews story and all the hard work cleaning the gravestone.
Our pleasure!
What a huge job that family stone was! Thank you for all the hard work.
I read all the VC Andrews books as a GenX teenager in the 80's...Only because my parents had no idea what they were about. LOL
Hahahaha. Yeah…now that I know the plot…I’m shocked so many of you read them so young.
As always Christopher, you've done a great job, cleaning the head stones. 🎉
Thanks again!
Thank you.
I don’t know a genx girl that didn’t love VC Andrews!! We all read those books and couldn’t wait for the next one to come out❤
I believe you….I just don’t get it. Haha. During my research for this video the unexpected incest turn and all the jumping from one man to another blew my mind. Lol.
They look much better! I can’t wait to see them in a couple of weeks when they’ve had time to brighten.
I loved her books as a teenager! A little dark for my tastes now though.😊 Thank you for the hard work!
You're so welcome!
I love reading books and watching her movies
Flowers in the Attic
Thanks! You really are the best! ❤
Thank you so much, Kelly!
@@VirginiaTombstoneRevivalYou are very welcome!!
I've read all her books. Thank you for sharing.
Ronin’s mom always talked about the movie based off Flowers in the Attic and it definitely seemed very…….interesting. Lol.
This one took a lot of work and sincere dedication. A really great restoration. A suggestion, to satisfy my curiosity. Spray her parents' markers and do nothing else; I've heard that it can work even without scrubbing. Take a photo of before and after, please.
You did a fantastic job. The large one will take time but it will be worth the wait to see it white. Such a dignified stone.
It’s already SO much brighter after only 5 days….i may give it one more D2 treatment in a month or two just to give it its best chance at looking perfect again.
So many year’s ago I enjoyed reading all her books. Thank you for your continued beautiful work on these headstones ❤.
Thank you for doing her headstone. I read all of her books. I remember waiting for the next one to come out each time. I watched the movies as well but the books were much better. She was a great author.
Loved her books. My daughter started me reading g flowers in the attic. Please show her plot a little later. Many a few weeks. Thank you
Will do!
I too 68 year old read her books. She could write about things in a way. That u almost didn’t realize the material. SHE. Was in the flowers in the attic. A cameo shot of a maid cleaning the windows. It was an outside shot facing towards her.
She died shortly after. Didn’t get to see the premiere
I missed out on a lot of math class my freshman year of high school because of VC Andrews, lol
I would think that that symbol on the side of the stone is the logo for the crafter. It perfectly depicts how they used to move heavy stone before you had machinery.
Looks amazing for only being 5 days!
Never read her books, though I have heard the name. The quote on the back of the surname stone was lovely. What was the symbol on the front of the stone and the quote on the book? Wonder why the individual headstones were not laid out in line and evenly spaced. Is the mother's stone under a tree that it is more stained, especially while newer?
Great job, Christopher. Please do show us the stones in the future. And I'm sure your baby blues 👀 are purty. 😉🤣
Mine go from blue to gray to greenish…so it’s anyone’s guess what they will be on a given day. I’m really not sure what the symbol is….im assuming it’s something referring to being an author or in the literary world. Not a clue.
@VirginiaTombstoneRevival Mine are hazel. Both parents and sister have/had blue eyes, so I always felt cheated. Mine do change a little depending on what I wear.
I read all of her books as a teenager in the '80s. They were kind of depressing and unfortunately incestuous. After she died her family took all of her unfinished manuscripts and had them completed if memory serves.
Yes,a ghost writer "finished" them.I loved the 1st 2 books only and the 2 successful TV or theater movies in the 1980'sGreat job on the clean up,wow!I grew up near Elizabeth City,NC,45 mins from the VA line.
Yeah her ghost writer was a male, so I’m not sure if he naturally had the same vision as her. The fact that she was basically wheelchair bound most of her life was what I found to be most shocking…aside from all of the incest. Haha.
Vc Andrew was my favorite Arthur
I read all her books many years ago. Maybe it'll time for a reread. 😊
Her birthday day is the same as my husband's. (June 6). Her parents names are the same as mine. My parents are gone too. I too had breast cancer. That's a lot to have in common.
That really is a lot of off coincidences! Especially the Lillian name.
I read some of her books but I was on the verge of being older than her target audience. I loved the first one but by the third, they seemed to be basically copies of the earlier books.
I love that you’re cleaning her headstone and her Moms, and being careful with that crystal when you get to that part.
Christopher, this was a huge job you undertook. Wow! Thank you for the story of VC Andrews since, I for one, didn't know who they were! You are awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Flowers in the attic was a good book and movie.
You did a beautiful job!!!
Also, what about using a mister spray bottle to apply the D2?
It is actually funny you mention that….after this one I began thinking about how much easier it would be to get another pump sprayer and fill it with D2. So I have that ordered now. Should arrive next week.
Bless your heart for all the time and effort you put into this cleaning. I hate to say I only read one of her books when I "young" and it was Flowers in the Attic.
I can’t believe so many young people read that given the content in it. Lol. I definitely didn’t expect all the “family love” when I was researching the synopsis.
@@VirginiaTombstoneRevival I think I was 17 or 18 when I read it and that was so many moons ago lol...nothing like "family love for a job well done and for someone who enriched us during a time in our lives.
One of my favorite authors ive read all her books, her books where way better than the movies. Others i love are Nora Roberts and Christine Pope all American. A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.Thank you for sharing the story behind one of the greatest authors you gave us a little history lesson this time. Those stones look absolutley beautiful now. The Andrews surname is common in both Britain and Norse, with a particular popularity in Scotland, due to the same-named Patron Saint of Scotland. It is a patronymic name, describing someone who is the son or descendant of a person named Andrew. You have a great weekend. Thank you for all the hard work you do Christopher, wheres our favorite wee man with the cheeky wee smile that warms the heart tell him we miss him.❤
Little man comes back from California tomorrow night! He’s been gone for about ten days and I’m not a fan of that at all. I’m not used to not seeing him for so long.
I read them in High School.
Thank you for doing this > I saw the movie Flowers in the Attic.
You're welcome
I remember that movie. Yes, I am that old.. How cool that you have her headstone to clean
I may have to watch the movie just because it has Kristy Swanson in it. 😂
Wow! I thought that Steven King wrote the flowers in the attic and the petals one! They have movies of those two books too. Not sure about the others. Love what is inscribed on the big stone. Is this in the cemetery you always go to? Ronin is in Ca? Is he having fun? Great work! I hope you have a great, safe week! Thank you!!
He goes to California a few times a year learning this spiritual healing stuff this mom. She was always into that when we were together. I never understood or put too much stock into it personally. Lol. But he seems to enjoy it.
Since she passed away
Her family took over and started writing her books
They are not good as Vc Andrew
Supposedly, looking at a cemetery online information page, you can dilute the D2 up to 4:1... not positive, but you can double check. That may help you save some money. You probably already dilute it. Just sayin.
Thank You for your kindness to others. God Bless you and your family. ❤
I actually used to dilute it and the results were never that great. So now we go straight D2 after a full cleaning. The results speak for themselves. It really is an amazing product.
@@VirginiaTombstoneRevival Oh, no. Really? That's such a shame. Yes, the results are always amazing. Thank you for your time. ❤️
I started reading the Flowers in the Attic series but when the brother and sister were playing house and had children r, I had to stop. Not a story line I want to read about!!
Right?! Haha. I never read it, but doing the research for this video I definitely didn’t expect that unsavory twist.
There are dozens of books from her not just those you listed. I have all of them and a lot of the ones written by the ghost writers after her death. They don't stand up to her level though.
I think the vast majority were written by her ghostwriter after her death. From what I’ve read in my research he is still pumping books out under her name.
So many people have given you a hard time,it sounds like. Your the one doing the work. Something it seems like thier not interested in, but still have the time to bulk and say things. I know, freedom of speach. Don't use it to slander, some who shares history and care of the stones.
It’s ok. The VAST majority of our comments have been positive and very supportive. I know there are plenty of miserable people out there that can’t fathom anyone trying to do a good deed.
Now that was a challenge but came out great.
This one may be the new largest I’ve ever taken on. Not very intricate, but a lot of surface area. I’m impressed with how bright it’s become after only 5 days.
