This piece is charming and thoughtful. I look forward to seeing more of her work.

First, being from NJ. Secondly, my kids and I walk in the cemetery after visiting their grandmother, who died three years before my first child was born. We call her "Grandma Angel". It makes me sad that this is the only way that they'll get to know her, but they have gotten to, and have built a relationship where they wave as we drive by where her ashes are interred. There is such an interesting history and a legacy of love too in many cases with the stones themselves as well as the momentos left behind. I can relate to this story. First, being from NJ.
