Designing a monument for a young husband and father is very challenging. Of course a grieving young wife wants a companion monument, but the reality of her remarrying must be considered. We designed this monument, leaving space for her eventual name and dates but for now, looks like a single monument. His wife loved the idea of a work of art versus a standard tombstone. She wanted him to be remembered for his peaceful spirit so we incorporated a bronze Strassacker dove. The two separate tablets use negative space to its full advantage, representing both the gap his death leaves in their lives and yet completing the memorial.
