I like that - on the stone. You know, when my brother passed away - we actually all discussed which of us would get to go into the wall with him at Forest Lawn. Room for four. But I also wore red to the non-service service as he'd asked. sigh, he would turned 40 this week. but yeah - that is pretty awesome, and pretty awesome of you... how is it that I have never been here before?

I didn't know your Dad for very long, but I would say that he would be very proud of you for honoring and remembering him in such a wonderful way. "Be of good cheer"...I need to remember that myself in my daily life. Neil, it is a beautiful stone.
