Last year I wrote about our New Years Eve tradition. Aurora's money box still only contains pennies and nickles. I have yet to find any other coin that has a 2010 date stamped on it! This year I also placed one of the ribbons we wore at her funeral in the box. It was the one my grandmother wore.
We once again placed the money at the columnbarium where Aurora is. Not wanting someone to take it, we dropped it off on our way to Grandma and Poppy's house.. and picked it up on our way home shortly after midnight.
When we are at Aurora's columnbarium, we can see the Security Mutual building. They always have it lit up, and in more than just the green color. On New Years Eve, this is how they had it lit.
I love her headstone. I still haven't ordered Lily's yet. I really want to
ReplyDeleteThank you. All of the name plates are exactly the same at the columnbarium, and are included in the cost of her niche. But they usually do not put the whole middle name in, just the middle initial. However, when we went to get it... we told them how important her middle name was to us, and they put it in as a surprise to us!
