It's been a long time coming . . .

 

We finally have a headstone/monument for Mom and Dad.

 

Robin and I did the designing.  We picked a red granite because dad's favorite color is red and we picked a bench style because that is what dad really wanted.  We put the birds on it because us kids (except for Larry, sorry) all have bird names.  The heart behind the Salt Lake Temple with a rose border because mom loved all of these.  The side vases are for flowers but we had them engraved to reflect dad and his famous saying and mom's to reflect what dad always called her.

 

The lower view is the back and it list us four children and all of our children - a little genealogy as mom was into doing family genealogy.

 

I think it has turned out beautifully.  It'll be a surprise to dad and we hope to have it installed by the time he comes to Rexburg in June.
