This pair of doves, flying and hovering over the name of the deceased, bring the gift of peace to one who battled so hard against an evil enemy of her body. The plaque is made of marble, etched and mounted on a stone wall, which surrounds a fountain in a garden.
"The dove then became a symbol of purity and peace because God had made peace with man. It also became a powerful symbol of the Holy Ghost, as illustrated in Jon 1;" ~ Stories in Stone, by Douglas Keister, 2004, page 79
