Two faces of SMA

First, my sister Stacy. This is one of my favorite pictures of her, taken when she was about 20. She was 27 when she died.

This is a closeup of her headstone. Don't mind my mom's shadow there.

This shows the entire headstone mounting. The turtle statue is painted to appear like Poe (as in Edgar Allen, her favorite author), her pet at the time of her death. Her best friend's son inherited him.

My brother Paul. He took this picture of himself with his webcam a couple of years ago.

A closeup of his headstone. He was a computer geek and gamer, and he was an English lit major.

The full mounting. Since the concrete company had nothing resembling books (not even books as bookends), my parents opted for this Celtic cross as an homage to his interest in Medieval history and literature.
