However sadly to be saying, along the passage of time, little by little, memories of our loved ones sometimes just fade off slowly from our mind. It's so sad to know of it, isn't it? I am sure everyone would like to be remembered and not to forget about our departed loved ones too. Lots and lots of wonderful memories they have left us with, making this world ever so beautiful. Likewise, not forgetting the guidance they have also shared with us, making us who we are today. An ever-lasting memory of them in return, would definitely be the best gift that we could ever dedicate to them. In the traditional way, a monument erected in the burial ground would be the most appropriate way to pay tribute to the departed.
