This grave does not relate to my own family, however this beautiful headstone, which I discovered whilst on holidays recently in the Cooroy cemetery in Queensland moved me. I felt quite sad for the family of the young child who had died. Her name was Gwendoline ( the rest of the writing is difficult to read but it looks like Gwendoline Anne Larsel?) and she died on the 24th June in 1925 aged only 3 1/2 years. She must have been very much loved. I couldn't resist taking photographs of the sweet angel headstone.
Nice snaps...Childrens graves are terribly sad aren't they. I'm always drawn to the wee angels too.
Grave ceramics really wrench my heart out also... this is one of my 'faves' i guess you could say... 15 year old Mervyn RAMSDEN who died in 1933... i took this in 2008
