A huge stone structure, made of granite, is the family plot marking stone. In a row beneath and in front of this marker are the smaller stone of family member with the names and dates.
Upon the front of this huge monument is the single word:
STARK
Sitting on top of this stone is a statue of a woman in grief. She is dressed in the turn of the century, or Roman style clothing, sitting upon a pile of stones, and holding across hers knees a wreath..Her proper right hand is touching her proper right side of her neck. He facial expression is of one remember something from the past.
This is not an angel, she never had wings...
