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.
