THANK YOU!!!!! My sister just called me up and told me the incredible news that because of you ladies, we will be able to get Ryland the headstone we wanted to get him.
For those who don't know, Ryland was buried in a memorial garden instead of a cemetary. They don't have headstones per say, but these little plates with the name and date on it. A small one with no vase or anything on it was included in the cost of his burial, but we really wanted him to have a nice one with a vase on it for flowers (you aren't allowed to put flowers on graves directly there...you have to have the special iron vase for flowers). So now, we are able to get him the plate in the shape of a teddy bear that has a vase on it.
I can't begin to tell you how grateful, how touched, and just how moved we are that you thought to do this for us. Surprised doesn't even begin to describe the reaction I had to the news--there is just no way we can thank you for this. We were looking at having it financed for 2 years meaning it would have been 2 years before he could get his teddy bear plate. I'm so happy he will be able to have it in time for the holidays now. So, thank you so much!!!
