Donna Dernier -- Oakland Cemetery, Dallas TX - Homemade Tombstones on Waymarking.com

This rounded concrete tombstone was clearly made by hand (perhaps by her parents) by pressing pre-formed letters into wet concrete. The letters are not lined up well or straight, which leads us to believe this is home-made.

"DONNA
Daughter
Mr & Mrs.
A. Dernier"

From the Find-A-Grave website, we found this child's obituary in the Dallas Morning News: (visit link)

"An infant of Mr. and Mrs. Aldro Dernier, 213 Leonard Street, died Friday night. The funeral was from the residence yesterday afternoon and the burial was in Oakland Cemetery. R. H. Coleman conducted the service.
