"Ours for a while...": T. J. Thunder

I don't usually photograph newer stones because I'm not sure how the surviving family members would feel about it; however, I pass this one each time I enter Woodland Cemetery. Last Friday I saw it once again; it 'spoke' to me, and I decided it would be okay to photograph. A member of his family has also created a memorial page on Facebook using his nickname. The stone is remarkable, not only because it serves as a beautiful tribute, but in terms of history it offers so much information about his life.
