Just over a year ago my Dad died suddenly . He and I were very close and I am still lost. I lost one of my closest friends and my pillar. Sadly he also left me to care for my mother who was terminally ill with cancer. She died 12 weeks later. A year has past since Mum died and I still think about her and my dad constantly every day. My brother, sister and I have decided that it's time to erect a headstone - but what do you say? I am desperate to write something that expresses how unique they were, how utterly irreplaceable. My sister wants something traditional and selected some phrases from other headstones in the same cemetery. I have never had to do anything like this before and I don't know who to turn to for advice. Can anyone offer any insight or advice about how to do this? I really don't want to end up with something that I will regret
