I knew what I wanted when I walked in, but I had no drawings with me. I tried before going there but the pain had set into my wrist fiercely that morning. I walked the 2.3 miles from my house and told them what I wanted. I thought as professional artists their work would be much better than mine anyways.

It was but they weren't inside my head... So asking them what the measurement should be, as they knew their trade well, I sat down with a piece of borrowed paper and produced this in about 3 minutes.

...He had no gravestone the day of the burial but I needed something closer anyways.
