Rhiannon always loved objects that had the shape of a heart. She loved everything about LOVE. Wherever she went, she was observant at looking for objects such as broken glass, seashells, rocks and leaves that were in the heart shape. She would save these to her collection.
One day,a few months after the loss of the sailor's, Rhiannon's Mom was hiking with a friend on a mountain road when they came upon a stone the size of a football that was in an almost perfect heart shape.They found some sticks to use as digging tools and were able to extract the stone and brought it home.
A few weeks later, we remembered that Rhiannon and her parents had made plans to hike to the top of the Lonesome Pine Tree Mountain. The event never came about. An idea came forth, and we decided to hike up to the spot and set the heart shaped stone on the top of that mountain. We brought along her best friend "FESTER" our yellow lab to take part in the outing. We set the stone, and the photo shows her best friend along side the Memorial we placed as a tribute to her.
