I think your idea of the stones and planting a memory garden is a wonderful idea!!! After my beloved Miss BooBoo Kitty died 5/11/04, I went and planted a white bleeding heart in her memory. It can back this spring(the deer and the groundhogs did not eat it!), and it gave me some comfort in knowing that Boo was still here with me. The bleeding heart comes in pink and there are several types. It is a perenniel(sp??). They are nice and like a sunny spot!!! Good luck with your garden. Maybe you wil show us photos of it someday!!!! Sandra/kb2yjx
