A beautifully sculptured, “Angel gravestone” serves as a soothing and comforting Memorial.

“Angels are regarded as agents of God.” Families usually opt for an angel headstone (irrespective of their religious beliefs), in hope that the angels will take care of their deceased  child.

This “Angel of Bodie” stone captures the sense of sorrow and lose to the Meyers family.
