County of doves: Lincoln County
Location of doves: Boone St., between MO-J & Trojan Dr., city cemetery, Troy

This time the doves are not an image on the tombstone, but statues alongside the main portion and resting on the base of the tombstone. Bright white doves on a small tree branch over a short poem

Tjoe we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

Cute couple, his wife, Billie Jean, and he went by the handle Billy Bob.

"The dove is most frequently seen animal symbol in the cemetery. It is portrayed in a number of poses, but most frequently it is seen holding an Olive Branch, a reference to the dove sent out by Noah to search for lane, as in Genesis 8.

"The dove then became a symbol of purity and peace because God had made peace with man. It also became a powerful symbol of the Holy Ghost, as illustrated in Jon 1.

"A dove, dive-bombing from the heavens, with an olive branch or a cross in its beak is the symbol for the Holy Ghost. This representation of a dove comes from John I." ~ Stories in Stone, by Douglas Keister, 2004, pages 79, 142
