The family asked for a special design and was concerned about stability. The said they your man was special in every way and was a refined individual who loved nature. The ten inch thick tablet is all finished including the polished ring encompassing the name. The combination of curves, angles and straight lines make for a very pleasing special design. The textured areas are a stark contrast to the finished surface - as was this individual's refinement and love of nature. The hand etching is an exact image of a lake and wooded area behind the family's name, along with Josh's four wheeler. The touching verse completes this memorial tribute.
