Many Indian artifacts here have been found and donated by Eric in 2015: Both shadowboxes with arrowheads, broken pottery bowls. The arrowheads (large flint and two small crystal) in the small shadowbox were hand made by Eric and he disclosed that upon donating. Eric regrettably gave a "nutting stone" he found on Lake Millwood to his brother that should be in this museum.

Willing to donate extra lots for environmental cause, but not aware of what. Please send suggestions.

Eric's lot is 6-20, incidentally, Mathew 6:20: "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Eric has been cheated severely by others and despises thieves, so this fits the bill.

Timeline

2005: Erika purchased cemetery Section 10, Lots 1 & 2 for her and Leo and Lots 3, 4 and 5 for her three children (unassigned). Each lot was $375. She also pre-arranged her designer casket and vault. Erika and Leo pre-purchased, designed and placed their memorial stone.

2009 upon Erika's passing, Eric uniquely designed, ordered on eBay from Created by Mechel and installed her color ceramic plaque on front. Lee hung a large barrel cluster wind chime. Eric relocated a religious man statue from their home to the site. mounted some crystals at the base.

2011 upon Leo's passing, Eric suggested a pine casket and Lee agreed. Eric designed, ordered and installed his color ceramic plaque on front. Eric filled out paperwork to have an Air Force service marker placed at the end of Leo's Lot for free.

2015: Lee placed his headstone on Section 10, Lot 3 without sibling consultation. His sister is older and (for most of the time) closest to Leo.

He purchased Section 6, Lots 39, 40 and Section 10, Lot 21 for $375 each.

. He installed a Pindo Palm (alive?). He wanted to plant an oak, but it couldn't be sufficiently watered.

2015: Eric ordered 2.35" x 3.15" Porcelain Ceramic Photo for Johnny's marker from Created by Mechel, an eBay seller for $86. Eric purchased and designed John W's secondary marker for $248 after the first one as shown on this page. This is our first monument with a URL.

2017: Eric assigned Section 10, Lot 21 for his mother's German ancestors who have no markers known in Germany. He ordered a 24"x12" marker from Allen Monuments in Texarkana of which the owner offered him for free due to long delays of Eric's monument. (pending install)

 

Pending: After years of delay of Eric's pre-paid monument (see abandoned design here), he changed his mind and requested natural unmarked boulders to create a beautiful natural non-cemetery looking rock garden.

 

Pending: Eric adds small ceramic photo of Johnny to his marker. Eric repaired/enhanced in Photoshop, Created by Mechel added sun ray effect.

Best of LT Lures donated by Eric in 2015. Hung up high above the Indian artifact display. As of 2015, someone needs to reposition the lures as they are a bit straggly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many Indian artifacts here have been found and donated by Eric in 2015: Both shadowboxes with arrowheads, broken pottery bowls. The arrowheads (large flint and two small crystal) in the small shadowbox were hand made by Eric and he disclosed that upon donating. Eric regrettably gave a "nutting stone" he found on Lake Millwood to his brother that should be in this museum.

Cemetery Lot Plots Design Talaska

Willing to donate extra lots for environmental cause, but not aware of what. Please send suggestions.

Eric's lot is 6-20, incidentally, Mathew 6:20: "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Eric has been cheated severely by others and despises thieves, so this fits the bill.

Timeline

2005: Erika purchased cemetery Section 10, Lots 1 & 2 for her and Leo and Lots 3, 4 and 5 for her three children (unassigned). Each lot was $375. She also pre-arranged her designer casket and vault. Erika and Leo pre-purchased, designed and placed their memorial stone.

2009 upon Erika's passing, Eric uniquely designed, ordered on eBay from Created by Mechel and installed her color ceramic plaque on front. Lee hung a large barrel cluster wind chime. Eric relocated a religious man statue from their home to the site. mounted some crystals at the base.

2011 upon Leo's passing, Eric suggested a pine casket and Lee agreed. Eric designed, ordered and installed his color ceramic plaque on front. Eric filled out paperwork to have an Air Force service marker placed at the end of Leo's Lot for free.

2015: Lee placed his headstone on Section 10, Lot 3 without sibling consultation. His sister is older and (for most of the time) closest to Leo.

He purchased Section 6, Lots 39, 40 and Section 10, Lot 21 for $375 each.

. He installed a Pindo Palm (alive?). He wanted to plant an oak, but it couldn't be sufficiently watered.

2015: Eric ordered 2.35" x 3.15" Porcelain Ceramic Photo for Johnny's marker from Created by Mechel, an eBay seller for $86. Eric purchased and designed John W's secondary marker for $248 after the first one as shown on this page. This is our first monument with a URL.

2017: Eric assigned Section 10, Lot 21 for his mother's German ancestors who have no markers known in Germany. He ordered a 24"x12" marker from Allen Monuments in Texarkana of which the owner offered him for free due to long delays of Eric's monument. (pending install)

 

Pending: After years of delay of Eric's pre-paid monument (see abandoned design here), he changed his mind and requested natural unmarked boulders to create a beautiful natural non-cemetery looking rock garden.

 

Pending: Eric adds small ceramic photo of Johnny to his marker. Eric repaired/enhanced in Photoshop, Created by Mechel added sun ray effect.
