I seem to latch on to one subject and then expand from there, the initial thought is not always easy to grab. Pammy and I have been discussing for several years since her Father then her Mother passed on how we would take care of our final affairs. It wasnt that it was difficult to do with her parents, in fact it was fairly simple because her parents had most things prepared. Having said that, My wife and I proceeded to a place in Austin called Remembrance Gardens. I knew of this place without knowing all the details. I researched it on the the web and was pleased with what I heard. We arrived and took a walk in the Gardens, Immediately I was surrounded by large old growth Oaks and an immaculate Garden. There was running water to be heard, and serenity was the word that came to mind. Pammy and I have always said we would be cremated that has not changed, we just hadnt decided what we would do next. Remembrance Gardens will place a small Granite marker in the garden with the names engraved. They will also perform a ceremony distributing ashes if you wish. As we walked through the garden we noticed the entire Garden was nondemonational, it seems any religeon or nationality was welcome. The Gardens had a wall honoring Peace officers killed in the line of duty. We have decided to put a marker in the garden, so people that wish will have a place to come, a beautiful place a Serene place, the sort of place I might create for myself.

Always with love,
Tony.
