   Hi Graham & Lynne....

  How wonderful to see the photos and to see the stone looking so new and clear. They have done a fantastic job at Welsbys.

 As for resize Lynne.....nah!   its big, bold & looks beautiful ;)

  looks like we will be planning a trip at some point.

  Michel....... & our Annie

   What started as a small request has generated a much wider response so again Thank you for the thought to re-unite the "tag " with the family. Roberts family has grown in a new direction now.

What a wonderful conclusion to the thread, all involved should be very proud.  I will be there in spirit tomorrow as distance to travel is too great.  Regards Lincsbabe

Just all round lovely !

A happy day Rootschatters...&...special thanks to Lynne.

If Welsbys have done a "normal job" it should be an inspiration to all trades persons, and those who look to revive a grave.

Hi all, I guess MissM and I had the same idea. I arrived graveside at about 7pm. Having rushed my poor husband straight out from work.
What a feeling, I had rang Welsby's to see that the grave would be finished. She asked if I was one of the friends off the internet. I proudly said yes I am indeed.
I have to say that it was very emotional for me indeed. Its my younger brothers Anniversary today. I felt you all with me. I was so inspired after seeing the headstone previously face down! If I had the powers you would have all been there. Michel for wanting to find the rightful home for Roberts Tag and Annie for her big heart and starting the quest. Thank you all. I feel very proud to belong to the best club in the world. "Roberts Club". What would he think of us all? I stood contemplating that something of this magnitude would have him overwhelmed.
I think that collectively Welsbys need a big thank you on the excellent job they have done on our behalf. They have gone that bit further I assure you. It looks brand new and so amazingly tidy. I was concerned that the grave next to Roberts has its Cross leaning rather menacingly towards Roberts grave.
I have to add my photos after going over to take them and see for myself. I also took another two of people in the same Cemetery. I hope you don't mind. Graham thank you for all you have done especially the photos a lovely thoughtful gesture.
MissM what can I say,  it would have been wonderful to meet you at Roberts graveside. Someday soon I hope!
May Robert Rest in Peace.
Well done all of you.
