A memento of my Mom and Dad
Mom and Dad were married for a little over 50 years. Mom always said to make a marriage work you have to pull together. She died in 1991. Dad then took their wedding rings and had them soldered together and he wore them as a necklace until he died recently. When Mom died my brothers and I wanted something that was fitting to them engraved on their headstone. We decided on "Pulling together through eternity". This memento photo is of my Mom and Dad and the set of rings that they wore.
