Need help finding the perfect thing to say.

**KAM** · March 30th, 2009, 07:29 PM

I've been thinking about posting this for a few days now but I haven't because I've been worried about whether it would be inappropriate and I don't want to upset anyone.

But I think I'm ready to start thinking about getting my baby girl a headstone and I would like help to find the perfect thing to put on it. I've been thinking of something like the following,
I think I'm set on the beginning unless someone has another suggestion

"In loving memory of
Isabel Ann ......
14/2/2009
Not sure if we should have the date like that or like
"14th Febuary 2009"

It's the next part that I'm having the most trouble with I've been thinking of either of the following
"Much loved daughter of Luke and Kylie
and sister to a miscarried twin.
Forever in our hearts"
or
"Much loved daughter of Luke and Kylie.
And
Her/Isabel's Twin
2008
Forever in our hearts."

I'm not sure about loved because it's past tense but I still love her, and I would like to mention her twin but I don't want to take away from Isabel it is her headstone after all.

I'm not sure but very open to any other suggestion because I feel that if I can't look after her in life then I want to look after her in death and this will be a standing memorial to her forever so I want it to be absolutly perfect.

Please any suggestion would be more than appreciated.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I have no experience with this, but felt I couldn't leave your post without replying.
Hope I do not offend.

Maybe something like this:

Much loved daughter of Luke and Kylie
Now playing in heaven with her twin
Playing forever in our hearts.

I love what Marlene has put in about playing with her twin. That is very precious. The only thing I would say differently is 'beloved' instead of 'much loved'.

Big hugs for you

Hi KAM... I am very sorry for your losses. It is a very special thing you are doing for your angels.. I like Marlenes suggestion too- and to piggy back on it maybe something like this...

It is so hard to find the right words to describe how you feel- take your time and find what feels right for you xoxoxo

Take care SB

so sorry for your loss, i like the way this is worded.

KAM, I am so very sorry for the loss of your babies.
I really like what you have written in your OP. I don't think it is a bad thing to mention her twin on her headstone - I don't think it takes anything away from her.
Your words are lovely.

**KAM** · June 7th, 2009, 08:50 PM

Ok so we may have come close to settling on something but because they don't use punctuation I'm a little worried it may sound fragmented or something, so your honest opinions. What do you think?

In loving memory of

Isabel Ann

Much loved daughter of Luke and Kylie
Always in our hearts and minds with your twin

Forever loved forever missed

**Nadine216** · June 8th, 2009, 05:43 PM

I like it ... I'll maybe just make that second forever a Forever. With a capital.

But otherwise it's really beautifull

**Berry1** · June 9th, 2009, 09:28 PM

I really like it as well. I don't think it sounds fragmented at all, it's really lovely.

A beautiful way to honour your twins.

**Just Me** · June 9th, 2009, 09:40 PM

I am so sorry for you loss.

I think it would be nice to include Isabel's twin on the headstone - I don't think it takes away from her, her twin is apart of who she is and the journey of how she came to be.

I hope that you can find the perfect wording for Isabel's headstone.

Hi hun, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful twins. What you have written is really beautiful. My suggestion would be :

Forever in our hearts and thoughts

Forever with her twin

We will always love you and miss you

**Inanna** · June 9th, 2009, 10:11 PM

Such beautiful and loving care you are giving to your babies...
