Mumsnet Talk

just after some ideas/tips/thoughts/anything about choosing words to be inscribed on my mums grave stone (she was cremated, so its a small, flattish stone..not much space)

need it to be perfect.

i welcome any comments you have...thanks in advance. need to log off now, will be back tomorrow.

anyone?

Are there and personal phrases she used, any term of reference "nickname" something that only means something to you and your family, that when you go and visit her grave you can read it and remember the good stuff...

Ihad to think up the message on my dads stone and put "nothing gold can stay" it is from a poem....Dad helped me a lot with my studies at school and this poem reminded me of that time and of him.

Sorry you have lost your mum and hope you can find the words you are looking for XXX

thanks stoppin. thats lovely on your dads stone, really lovely.

i don't think my dad would go for anything like that with my mum, and there's nothing that springs to mind right now....will talk to my dad abouyt it later.

thanks again..really appreciate you taking the time to post. sorry about your dad too.
