The Memory Garden came about from an idea that Ina Denice had, she called me one day all excited with a plan. She already had an airplane ticket to come home for which was supposed to be Mom and Dad's 60th wedding anniversary, Dad died 43 days before we could celebrate that day, so she wanted to do something special for Mom. She came up with the plan of the Garden, so I spread the word and we started the Memory Garden. Below are the results of a great plan thanks Sis for your idea
Memory Garden
Gardens, like grandmas, have stories to share
grandma, your garden is going to have a lot to say.
You and grandpa have had lots of love and happy times,
so we wanted you to have a happy spot in your wonderful garden
These stones tell a story, each made with love, lots of smiles, and many great memories in mind.
They will be here in your garden for years to come, to remind you of our great family, giggle at great memories, but mostly to remember the wonderful love you have shared with our dad, gramps, great gramps and great great gramps
