Do you want to share a picture? (Some people like to take pictures, some don't and it's okay if you don't). ModKonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cant move on Posted August 22, 2012 Members Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 That's a big thing to get done, and I'm also glad you didn't have to do it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members paulaj Posted August 23, 2012 Members Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Good for you! It took me a year to pick out the stone - ended up designing it myself. On the stone is the quote "for those who love, time is eternity." It was a tough job.Mandala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arnoldsmb Posted September 6, 2012 Members Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Gunnerswife,I was thinking about bringing this subject up. I have been looking at gravestones but I haven't been able to do this yet. I know it is somethingthat I really want to get done. But I just haven't had the courage to take care of it even though I know it will do be good to get what I want and it will be a step forward not backward. Good for you and glad you had help. It sounds really nice. I have looked at several stones and want to bring it upto my daughter soon. Thanks for bringing up the subject.Shay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members val Posted September 7, 2012 Members Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 OH it sounds beautiful. I didn't even know they could do such individual design work. Good for you and I am glad you had help in accomplishing that. I know it's been on your mind. I was so grateful you called me last night too. I really needed to talk. Thank you. Talk soon, hugs, Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think i would want the ashes though. the grave yard he is buried at is also the church we vote at. the plot i got is up by the woods and i had him put in the one closest to the woods i bought 4 plots. He would love that as he loved the country loved our land and use to hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
