Last night I was returning home late from the church after doing some clerk work and I decided to go the cemetary to see if Katie's flowers were still standing after our strong winds this past week. I drove down the lane and noticed that they had put our headstone in place sometime this week. I felt it was fitting that it should be in place for Easter. On our way to visit with the Porters today, I stopped to show the kids. It was a beautiful morning with a feeling of spring and rebirth much different than 5 months ago when Katie passed away. Oh, how I miss her. I pray I may live worthy to one day be with Katie again.

I LOVE the headstone. I'm glad that it was placed there right in time for Easter.
I love it when Easter mornings are beautiful and bright--there is such peach, comfort and hope in days like that.
I'm so grateful for a day to remember the Savior's resurrection. It is a time to reflect on how AMAZING the Savior is and how much He loves us.
I thought of Grandma, Katie and of you guys yesterday. I'm glad we'll all be reunited again. You all still remain in my prayers! We love you!
I love the design on the headstone. It is perfect! It looks like the flowers survived the wind and are a beautiful reminder of the resurrection and spring we hope to soon have.
Thank you so much for spending your Saturday driving back and forth to be at the temple/reception with us. What a sacrifice for you!
It was wonderful to be in the temple as a family and know Katie and Mom were there in spirit. Thank you for your strong testimony and example. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. We LOVE you!!!
I had such a sad moment seeing this. But I'm thankful for Easter, too, and the reminder that this earth life is just temporary. I miss Katie too, but I'm sure it is nothing compared to your longing. The headstone looks nice.
What a beautiful headstone! I love the musical staff and autumn leaves, the temple, and the names of your sweet children on the back.
