Would some member of the group who knows how to
do these things, consider adding Memorials for
Florence Rankin and Rollie Hemsley to the FIND A
GRAVE website?

http://www.findagrave.com/index.html

You could include photos of their gravestones
in their Memorials. That way we could all make
a (virtual) visit to their Memorials and access
any photos posted thereon. (Someone else might
have other photos that they could add?)

Several persons of interest already do have
Find A Grave Memorials.

and Lois Wilson, where Doug B. posted some
photos.
