Default Headstone arrived

We recently got the headstone we ordered in December for Mary Catherine. The winter weather prevented placement for a while, but it's finally here.

While I was pregnant, Brad suggested giving our kids both of our last names, so that's why she has two. It's funny, because he thought I was a total kook for keeping my name.

I forgot to add, in case you can't see it, we put a haiku inscription below her name.

Beloved Daughter

Thanks for looking,

Sheri,

Mary Catherine's headstone is so beautiful. It is so difficult when we first see our children's headstones, as it makes it seem so real and final.

Take care!

Sheri,

I admire your strength. Gabe and I still haven't brought ourselves to pick out a headstone for Chloe, I think somehow he feels that if we don't pick one out then it isn't "final"...the headstone is beautiful and a nice tribute to your little girl.

How beautiful- When we lost baby Kenneth we could not afford much so we picked out somrthing plain jane. We went in not to long ago about purchasing something we liked and the price was around $3000.00 . I think we keep with what we have.
