Need help.....

[Denise]

I found this cool necklace that can be personalized. It's kind of a double dog tag type of necklace but a very nice one. On the front it says "Always in my Heart" going down and a heart cut out and on the back tag you can personalize with up to six lines & 12 letters or spaces on each line. So, what I need is your help, (I'm not too good at putting the words together) My brother passed away about 7 years ago. I always say I'm getting a tattoo with his name but never have the nerve. Anyway, I thought the necklace would be the next best thing. I need to figure out what to have engraved on the necklace. His name was Brad. I would love your help. You guys are always so good at this stuff!! Thanks!!

Re: Need help.....

Okay, I will try....
Brad, I love you and will keep you in my heart forever?
I love you Brad and we will be together forever in my heart?
The times we shared will remain etched in my heart forever?

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know how painful it is. God Bless you.You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Need help.....

How about his full name, date of birth, date of death, then "You remain in my heart" or "Always in my Heart"

Re: Need help.....

I wouldn't put his date of death. Just his name (or nickname) and birthdate. Growing up things always got gloomy when loved ones' dates of death approached. As an adult, I celebrate their birthdays - dinner and drinks. Just as I would if they were alive. I try to let the death days go.

You will never forget him, necklace or not. Try to think of the good things or send a donation to a cause he would have supported had he lived.

I kind of agree about the date of death... I remember for years after my mom died... I'd start feeling uneasy and unhappy as Thanksgiving approached cause she died a few days afterward. It took years for that to slowly fade away... but I'd much rather celebrate her birthday and life than be unhappy on Thanksgiving.

I like this, but with just his name. and one of Lauren's quotes. I don't think dates would be necessary for you, you know the dates.

Re: Need help.....

That's probably right about the date of death. I think one of the quotes and his name would be fine.

Re: Need help.....

OK, so I ordered the necklace. On the front it actually says Always In My Heart with a cutout heart below that. On the back tag I put his name and My Beloved Brother. It takes 3-4 weeks, so when I get it I will try to send a pic. Thanks for your help!
