Etchographic Portraiture: Etching has become an ever more popular way of painting portraits on granite slabs. This headstone puts the process into perspective: Her memory is etched into her survivors' hearts and her image is etched into her memorial. If you look at both sides of the marker, though, you will discover two different pictures from two different eras of her life. [2012]

| You graced our lives And touched our souls. You danced through our Days with love and laughter Etching your memory In our hearts forever. We Cherish All You Gave Us. Daddy and Momma |

Two heart-rending words.
ReplyDelete“Daddy and Momma”: our parents when we were very little children.

The gifts: an epitaph, a marker.
They tucked their child in her grave.
Last tokens of love from
“Daddy and Momma”
