A Beautiful Memorial

Both my father and my brother passed away when they were 37 years old...
My father's body was never found (he drowned) and my brother was cremated and his remains are with his wife in Montana. My sisters and I have always talked about wanting to create a memorial for them to honor their lives and to be able to go and sit and reflect.

This year my sister Theresa purchased a beautiful spot in one of the local cemeteries and placed this piece there:

She arranged it so a few servicemen would be there -my father was a veteran- to perform a ceremony honoring his military service... it was all very touching.

It was nice to have a place to go today to actually place some flowers and see their faces...thanks T. I love you and appreciate all your hard work putting this all together.

That is beautiful Gabi. I'm sure the whole experience was very sacred. Thanks for sharing a part of it with us.
