Weird day today. I Vcarved a Cross/Headstone marker for a young man who died on Christmas Eve in an auto accident. This will be set at the site alongside the road where he died. This kid was 3 days older than my youngest daughter. Sure makes you think about things now and again.

The man wants to pay me for my time and I just can't find it in me to charge him anything.

Well another day in Dallas. :)

Mike

Similar ages to my two daughters and sons in laws. I know what you mean about taking pay for it, and I will tell you that you will recieve much more by not taking anything in this situation.

Bless you for doing this for this family.

Thanks Mike,

He is a friend of the family of the young man. Someone gave him my name to get this done.

I told him that if he insisted on spending his dollars, that he should donate it to the young mans favorite charity or church in his memory, from an anonymous donor.

Mike
