To all my Very Special Angel Friends
Soon I am going to make a special flower garden in honor of my sweet beloved niece, Leah Victoria Avril.
I have been trying to think up a unique way to honor and remember her. She was and is so loved!
I am going to make an Angel Rock Garden.
I will go to the river where she was baptized and pick up flat river rocks. I would like to put all our Angel's names and dates on the rocks. If you want your Angel's name on a rock in Leah's Garden, let me know by adding it to this page.
When I get finished I will post pics of your Angel's rock for you on this page.
You can then copy and paste if you like.
I thought this would be a great way to remember all our so special angels.
Give me some feedback on this project if you like.
Thank you and I appreciate all the kindness you have shown. Leah's Aunt Jo
P.S. Several in the family are making special gardens also. I will post pics of them too when they are ready.
If you have a special flower you like and I can get it to grow I will plant it by your rock.
Just as a token of rememberance.

I have started on the garden and almost have it done. I still have a lot of rocks to paint with Angel Friends names, but I have the ones who are listed below done.
I am going to try to do all Leah's Angel friends, it may take me a couple of months to get them all done. Here is a few pics of the garden so far. It is a work in progress, so I may change some things.

Below are some of my "Angels in Waiting" rocks, waiting to be finished.
I wish I could paint angel rocks all day until I get them all done, but I am working on them as I can. I feel like I am touching a tangible part of the angels when I hold the rocks to paint. It is very gratifying and comforting to me to do this for our beloved angels.
