Partial view of headstone

Yesterday we went to the cemetery

to see the monument.  It is truly amazing!

It is a wonderful tribute to our daughter, Laura.

Even the granddogs came with us! I know

Laura loved that they visited her resting place.

(We all know she isn't there;

she is roaming freely in the Heaven.)

I am so happy that we perserved and

found a monument office that would do

exactly as we wanted.

The artwork is a replica of my draft.

As you can see the artist, Michael, 

 is extremely talented.

Thank you Michael.

We whole-heartedly recommend

Koch Monuments  in Hackensack, NJ.

Mike listened to us and exhibited not only 

patience but caring too.  He knew how much

the personalization of the monument meant to us. 

All the symbols have special meanings

 for Laura and us.

Mike, we appreciate your expertise

 and kindness you shared with us.

It is BEAUTIFUL!  THANK YOU

We love and miss you Laura.

One day we will be together again.

Headstone

The headstone was delivered to the cemetery today!
We are going to pay a visit to Laura's resting place tomorrow.
I know just her human body rests there.  She is
busy keeping the Universe on its toes.
