The almost-mirror one makes me think the family couldn't afford a headstone so just made do with what was at hand... and then forgot?

I really a...Firstly, what an excellent post, Gemma. I really appreciate the effort that you have put into researching and compiling your visit to Tyabb. I love that name, too.<br /><br />I remember the incident with the young cricketer at the time. Obviously, something his parents had a hard time coming to terms with. I am so glad that the plot has not been vandalised in any way.<br /><br />The idea of solar lighting is intruiging. I wonder why this is being used. To help 'light the way'? What do you think?<br /><br />The one that really caught my attention is the one with the metal outline of a cross. That would be so good to memorialise as a garden planting with various colours in each of the rectangles. I wonder if you could return here in, say, 6 months and see if there is any update to the plot. It is such a complex layout what with the tree and that tiny angel as well. Ah, have just read the headstone, and although the name says Donaldson, she was born Georghiou on Cyprus. That makes some of it more understandable. Cant quite get the dates but I think 1947 to 2009, so a bare 62.<br /><br />Thanks for your continuted praticipation in Taphophile Tragics. I am glad that you are enjoying this meme, that admittedly, is of a longer form than many others. I value your contribution.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467673506431999910.post-26526861933880227802012-01-17T07:22:34.497+11:002012-01-17T07:22:34.497+11:00I love the kookaburras shadow-and I also love ceme...I love the kookaburras shadow-and I also love cemeteries.
