Finally It Has Arrived

At long last Rylee's grave marker has come in. It was so hard for us to choose the headstone. We went to the mortuary several times over the past year to try to figure out what we wanted. We would always end up overwhelmed and frustrated. For several months we would talk about what we wanted to do and we looked at many different headstones at several cemetaries. In January we had a plan for what we wanted to do. We had made a mold of Rylee's hand and foot print about a year before she died and we wanted to have this mold be used. We had hoped to have it in before Memorial Day, but it didn't quite make it. It was a very difficult task to choose the headstone, because we wanted it to be special, it is the last reminder we have of Rylee. She was so special and everything we have done for her was a token of our love for her. We are very happy with the way it turned out. It will make our visits to her grave a little more special. We love and miss you baby girl.

That is so great and it is beautiful. When we go to Susan's, which is quite a bit, now my kids will be able to put a flower on Rylees and remember her.

You picked the perfect marker. I love the word "valiant", because your sweet little girl was.

That last comment was from me, not Trav, I'm not quite sure why it came through from him.

I've been meaning to tell you how much I love the word valiant.
It perfectly sums her up!
