Grieving over the tragic death of my 21 year old son in July of 2004, I was deeply distressed that it was now December and I still did not have a marker on his grave. I needed a marker that represented his life, not just a marker with his name, birth date and death date.
Finally, I decided to take the suggestion of a friend and go to Columbus Monument Company. There, I met Lynn Weekley. She listened to me compassionately as I talked of my son and his life. She combined all that I had expressed about Willie's life and then assisted me with the design which is now on his grave. However, it is not just a marker, it is a "Memorial to My Son" and the way he lived his life. Life to the fullest - loving God, caring for friends, wearing cowboy boots, and riding a motorcycle.
I am so grateful to Ms. Weekley and Columbus Monument Company for meeting my needs and for exceeding my expectations in honoring my son with a memorial to him.
Thanks for everything.
