A Valentine's Weekend to Remember

As many of you may know, my Mom passed away almost 4 years ago. It will be 4 years on May 9. We haven't had an official headstone placed on her grave. I think it has been an emotional thing for Dad, plus trying to come up with the perfect headstone for both of them, one that they deserve! :)

We have been blessed to have a cousin who has a business making headstones, Paul Baliff. He was able to produce a headstone we never thought was possible. He did an amazing job! When my parents had their 50th Anniversary we had a special picture made that was unveiled. My family came up with an idea of Mom and Dad's wedding picture, putting it in front of the Salt Lake City Temple where they married and then had pictures of all of us kids up in the clouds. We have always pictured us up in heaven cheering for our parents on their wedding day and making us an eternal family. :) Definitely a special day! Well, Paul was able to get this picture carved in our parents granite headstone. We were able to have Mom's headstone placed on Saturday morning, February 13, along with my Uncle Lynn Richardson 's and cousin Mark Richardson headstone. It was Mark & Lynn's 22 wedding anniversary on Saturday! It was Lynn's anniversary gift for her wonderful hubby. It was so wonderful to see most of our "Richardson" family including aunts, uncles, and cousins there. What a wonderful Valentine's gift to give our loved ones who we dearly miss!
