For some time, this little girl's grave was marked only by a flimsy metal funeral home marker, but some thoughtful soul has placed this red granite headstone at her final resting place, which is enclosed by decorative curbing. Judging by the tree stump behind the headstone, they picked out a nice little place under a tree for her. Lichen is at work on the headstone, but the inscription -- inside a heart -- is still legible below the dove:
