When "Home" is much more than a house.
If the picture appears distorted, there's a reason.
The house you see is etched on the back of a gravestone.
I see it frequently, it's very near my grandparents' stone; I'm so touched by it.
While I'm only acquainted with one of the grown children that had this stone made in honor of their parents, I think the idea to put their family home on the stone is telling.
What do you see?
The emotional ties and memories of home are real;
may they be as happy and long-lasting for us all.

Because I'm from this area originally, I'd feel remiss if I
didn't include a small portion of the obituary for their mother:
“Although a lot has changed during Mary’s 102 years of life,
three things remained constant:
her habit of hard work, her love of family, and
her dedication to her Catholic faith.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.”
