- A young girl mourns at each of two monuments. One to a deceased father, the other to a deceased grandmother. On L a large willow tree and on R a large deciduous tree. Other graves dot the lawn. Up the hill is a large cathedral, and two small Dutch style colonial houses are behind a fence. (Note: this print work memorial contains an unbelievable amount of tiny seed stitches; 900 in one square inch).
