Ryan's Marker

It's finally done! Jake and I couldn't be more happy with how Ryan's marker turned out. We love it. It took us a while to find the perfect picture, which we had to end up customizing rather than choosing what the company had to offer, teddy bears with balloons and trains didn't seem right to us. This picture of the Savior and the baby make me the happiest, the picture emulates so much joy and that's what I like to think of. It took us a while to pick the perfect saying also that we would want written in honor of our boy. The stone has a glare in the pictures, but it is pitch black with gold specks in it, called galaxy black. It's beautiful marble. Hope you all feel free to stop by and visit Ryan's memorial. Thank you to our family for helping us get the best for our little king.

That is beautiful! I love it! The picture is perfect too. Trains wouldn't do it for me either. I can't believe they were able to even do that on there. That's amazing. What a special marker that is to have. Brings tears to my eyes every post!

What a sweet memorial to your son. And such a beautiful sentiment. You two are a tower of strength and a pillar of faith. Two great attributes to have when hardships and trials come your way.
