All the gravestones are very ornate - must have cost the families an absolute fortune in those days  :o

Graceland,

I think it is lovely you are posting these stones,  they were very important to the families who erected them,  and it is nice they are still being appreciated.

Thanks,

Kazza.

From what I have read, angels have no gender, but guides have.  I have also read that guides prefer to be referred to as guides not as "guardian angels".  Anyone's guide or angel please feel free to correct me if this is not the case.

Here's a thought:  how about those of us who have not yet made contact with ours, posting questions to be put to Phil or Joel?  Not that they have to answer of course, they are busy after all.

Oh MrsLizzy! :o :o

I was astonished when I 'got' the name Joel - if he/she starts answering questions I will be speechless!!

But....I'll give it a go if you want ;D

Hello Darcy,
I've asked for things for friends many times, and Phil has come up trumps, especially where illness is concerned.  But what you have to do, is, ask your Joel to ask the person's own Angel to help them, even if you don't know their Angel's name.
Love
