    Wow, what a wonderful tribute. Good job on making it so personalized and not so cookie cutter.

    I Loved the poem.

    *hugs* Condolences on your loss and grief.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    What a beautiful, personalized stone.

    You and your family are in my prayers.

    What a beautiful stone!! I love the personal things you put on it, especially that line from a poem on the bottom. This is unusual here; mostly there is only a pic and a name from that person. I can feel you loved and still love your son very much; He must have been a very special young man

    I'm with Staci-major LES.

    I too never knew Rob, but it really sounds like the stone you picked out was perfect and I'm sure he thinks you and Carl did a wonderful job picking it out.

    Here's some more cyber (((HUGS))) for the both of you till I see you next month and get to give them to you in person.

    I think it's perfect. I feel like I got to know him just through your posts and through the stone. I think it's good that you took your time choosing what would go on it, and I think it looks beautiful. It would certainly be one I would stop and read, and Rob will live on in that way as well. The poem is very touching.

    Thank you all for your nice comments and understanding. Amy, your song left me crying - good thing I'm all alone at work today. No you have never shared that song with me. I would love to hear the music that goes with it sometime.

    Logan, I think that like so many others, I feel like you are all friends and family. You all shared our grief when Rob died, it seems only fitting to share other parts of him. I also chose to do this because Randi posted John's gravestone and I thought it was interesting to see the differences in even the cemetery where John is. The bush hedge that marks his gravesite is so different than anything you see here. And the fact that you can plant whatever plants you want (do I have that right, Randi?).
