But the one I completed last week, I am particularly proud of. A friend of mine collects sea glass in memory of Max, her Golden Retriever, and she kept the shards in various vases and jars.
I had this idea to suspend them in a false window that I designed and built so that the afternoon sun would illuminate the sea glass and she could add to it everytime as she scoured the rocky shoreline of Narragansett Bay, searching for her long lost memory of him.

Thank you. This is the most amazing and beautiful memorial I have ever seen. The thought, time and energy spent on creating this remarkable tribute, show your spirit.
I love it and will treasure it forever. It's one of the most beautiful, touching and wonderful gifts ever given to me. Words can't describe what I felt when I first laid eyes on it, and what I continue to feel each time I look at it.
Watching the glass chards glisten as the sun shines through reminds me of the warm summer days spent searching for seaglass w/ Max. As I searched, he frolicked in the waves and played "top of the mountain" on the rocks. Always in sight and at my side whenever I stretched out in the sand to soak up the sun, cozying up next to me with that wet wiggly body. I can almost smell the salty seawater in his dog fur now.
Thank you for bringing the sunshine back.

what a great idea (and beautiful, too) - thanks for the inspiration!
What a beautiful gesture Luke.....a great way to cherish the memories of him......love it......
Amazing and beautiful - on so many levels...
Sorry, Luke. Due to circumstances I am just catching up on the blog and the book. This is a wonderful idea for a memorial. Almost everyday of my sweet Mugs' life we walked along the beach where we lived. I can't think of a better way to honor him and his memory. Thank you for the inspiration. It's been eleven years and the hole remains in my heart.
