    It is a beautiful marker.  Looks like the month of December was always  full of celebrations. Were  any of your kids also born in December?

    Yes. One boy born Dec. 7, a girl on Dec. 23, and a girl on Dec. 24.

    How absolutely unique and beautiful.  Whoever did the design; well done.  One of the loveliest and certainly the most meaningful I have seen. 

    Where we are, nothing allowed except small vert flat metal markers set flat against the ground with name and dates. Period.  All the plots the same. It is so impersonal and no sense of those who once were with us.  I imagine the children really appreciate how well that has been done.  Once again Ed, you did really, really good.

    Ed, that is such a beautiful stone. I’ve never seen one that is so personal, with the wedding date and personal details. You did a good job in choosing.

    Thanks everyone. My daughter helped me with the design. When we were picking things out, I felt like there was just too much to look good. But after it was put together, I was happy. When I saw the actual marker yesterday, I thought it looked great. Thanks again.
