Carved in stone

I accompanied my mom on a shopping trip to a local stone-cutter to finalize arrangements for a marker stone for dad's grave-site. We had to compromise a bit on what we got, because my father's original wishes could not be accommodated due to changes in the cemetery's bylaws. The dimension of the stone my father would have preferred to have is no longer available.

After consulting with the designer on-site, we agreed on a design that I believe will honour his memory.

All we have to do now is talk with the rabbi to book an appropriate date for the unveiling.
