What a vivid picture of a wonderful couple. Made me want to shake their hands and say howdy. Gail

Thank you, Gail! Yes, you would have loved them just like everyone else--some of the finest folks ever.

A very nice tribute to your aunt and uncle, Kathy. What a nice thing you and your brother did by purchasing the headstone for them. I'm sure you'll have no regrets over doing it either. The essay was nicely written, too.

Nancy, thank you so much. No, there will be no regrets but if I could get hold of their son things would probably get ugly fast!! Isn't that just the worst thing ever--how could he ignore headstones. Just killed me.

Beatifully and tastefully written. They sound like a perfect couple. Thanks for sharing. Glad you were able to have closure by memorializing them, there and here. Blessings on you. Janet
