    Thank you to every one of you. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at the brochure and share your thoughts!! :) I have til monday morning, eeeks!

    I found him on the other end of the cemetery, behind his maternal great grandfather. Rumors and family lore on why his not in the paternal family plot:sherlock:

    I agree with you. But. It was the first public cemetery in Denver and now has "historical status", they are in the process of repairing most of the worn soft rock headstones, and will only allow granite now. I am sold on block lettering too;) The cemetery advised as simple as possible as you suggested above, I want to honor my fathers wishes for his inscription though too:handshake: You all are the greatest!!

    324 would be an excellent choice! I also like simple ones like P13D

    I like 323 It is simple and may fit the time period better. 324 is very apt for a small child that left us too soon.

    This will be set in the ground later this spring. God Bless you lil guy. I had my eye on designs you all picked out. My Aunt just passed, and though my father cannot participate, I still wanted his input, he chose the baby shoes.
