Nicely done, Gordon. When my Grandfather died, My grandmother had a tombstone with his date of death and her name and birthdate on it. Being 11 at the time I didn't know what the heck that ment.I do now, Was creepy then. I don't know what they charge for headstones now. But maybe its cheaper to get it done now than in the future. Plus you get to design it. [/quote] Old James |

The plot, purchased in 1990, was $520. My actual stone, which I purchased three months ago, cost $1,310. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Out of My reach, My family will probably cremate Me, and then dump My Moms ashes and Mine out in the desert somewhere. I'm allowed to buy and own a plot, but if either exceeds $2,000.00, I'm not allowed to legally save for it, if I do, I could lose My benefits, or worse, go to jail, yep SSA is now threatening jail, it's all Republicans fault in Congress, they won't pass HR2442/S1387, the bill just sits there, in the House Ways and Means Committee's: House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources which is where the bill has been since 06/01/2015. If anyone is interested in HR2442/S1387, Here's the link. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |
