I can see in my mind's eye the young husband and a child, a daughter I think, visiting this place.annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274795863426882004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-1163728621387873812006-11-16T20:57:00.000-05:002006-11-16T20:57:00.000-05:00So hauntingly elegant and infinitely sad.

A great sense of longing.<BR/><BR/>Bernita, now that I'm visiting cemeteries fairly regularly, I'm intrigued how each has its own character. Things common in one may be utterly absent in another.<BR/><BR/>Ester, thank you. :) I could spend hours and hours in that place. So much to experience.<BR/><BR/>Marie, the monument draws your attention from everything surrounding it.<BR/><BR/>JLB, you're very welcome.<BR/><BR/>Addy, although the top surface is worn down from the years, the interior endures.<BR/><BR/>Livewire, yes, I have to think it was specially made just for her.<BR/><BR/>M.E.
