Remembering…

011_edited-2PK

Mama’s headstone was put in this weekend, just in time for Memorial Day.  When we went to pick it out all of the smooth marble headstones looked so impersonal and cold, not like something our Mama would like.  My sister commented, “I just wish we could have a boulder engraved, that’s so much more like Mama.”  We found out that we could, and so we did, designing it ourselves to reflect Mama’s childhood home close to the sea with the lighthouse, and the cross for the beacon reflecting her faith.

Have a blessed Sunday and a wonderful Memorial Day!

  3. How beautiful! This is probably the most beautiful headstone I can remember ever seeing. So glad you were able to design it to reflect your Mama's childhood home.
    I had no idea this could be done. My Dad passed away in March, my Mom and I will be selecting a headstone sometime in the upcoming weeks. I would love to show her your blog so she could see your Mama's monument.

  4. How special...I love that scripture.

    I lost my mom as a young mother. I know the pain of your loss.

    I'm sure she would be blessed.
