Brian Salice - grave marker

Brian Salice is the biological father of my daughters Sage and Brooke, for those of you that don't know. His bronze grave marker was finally ready to be put into the ground. The cemetery was nice enough to let us watch the placement for no "additional charge"

The girls were mesmerized while two men worked on cutting out the grass and then filling the hole with cement. Brooke really liked the oil the man used to shine up the marker. The girls designed this marker and were happy to see it mark the place where their daddy's body rests.
They picked out some live flower plants to leave there.





They wanted to take a silly picture for Daddy. Sage thought he would like that.
I am really happy with Forest Lawn in Cypress. They have great customer service and a nice location for those of us that live in Long Beach. I like to visit, but I hope I have many more years before I need check in. Or would that be check out?
If you would like to visit this spot it is in the Sunset section near the pine trees. Spot 5181, space 2. All are welcome, it is open to the public during daylight hours.

That made me want to cry. I'm so sorry for the girls' loss! It seems like they are handling it very well though! You're a good mom!

What a wonderful grave marker that I am glad the girls helped design it. It's great that they have been included in the process. I agree that you are a great mom!
