My friend Sue and I planted these flowers in May of 2003. They were just small little plants to start. What a pleasant surprise to see how they had grown! Boy did they grow, we never realized they would cover his headstone. Rad and I pulled out the middle plant and mulched the area. In addition to how the plants had grown, there were many butterflies that covered the coreopsis. It is always a sad time when I arrive at the cemetery but seeing the beautiful flowers and the butterflies eased the sorrow. The bush on the right was Paul's favorite, it is a Burning Bush and he called it the Burning Bush of Love!!!!




The back of his headstone has an inscription that reads:

Gone from our sight,
but never our memory.
Gone from our touch,
but never our heart.
