Dan,

Sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine building a casket for my mom. I built an urn for one of my dogs, and it was one of the most painful things I’ve ever done.

I’m also sorry to hear of your loss. It appears that your mother was a quilter. My mother was a quilter, and my wife, and daughter are currently. What a great way to remember your mother.

I’m very sorry, Dan.

The casket looks wonderfully appropriate for a quilter.

My Thoughts and Prayers go out to you and your family Dan.

Nice job on the casket. I’ve never even thought about a project like this and I am not sure I could even if I had the skills.

Sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Adding my prayer for your mom, you and your family.

Powerful stuff. Remember the good times.

-- Things of the greatest worth are from the Earth. If you tell yourself that something is "close enough" it is not...do it again.

Dan, I am sorry for your loss. I can think of nothing better for a final farewell for your mom than the casket she will be buried in. A Beautiful Piece!

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Dan,
Sorry for your loss. May God bless you and give you peace.

Such am amazing expression of love and respect. I am sorry for your loss.

Regards

Sorry to hear about your loss Dan. I can only imagine how hard it would be to loose my mother.

The casket is beautiful. Simple and beautiful. I have told my wife over and over that I want to be put under in a casket that I build. She just thinks it my ultimate cheapness coming out. It is more the fact that I can build what I want to be buried in. I have been to many funerals, and I do not like those fancy caskets that they always have. Too fancy, and no doubt too expensive. I am sure your family will be proud of the work you have done, and it is something that you will never regret

I will be keeping you and you family in my prayers during this hard time. May God bless you with good memories and a peaceful mind.

Sorry for your loss. I don’t think I could follow through on a project such as this for a loved one. Great job!

Sorry for your loss, and God bless.

Sorry for your loss. I know she will be sorely missed.
I admire you for making her casket. That would have to be an
emotional experience. I know all the love and care you have to give
will be in that casket.

-- ''Carry on my wayward son''

Wow, I can’t even imagine taking on a project like that. Beautiful job of symbolizing your mother’s love of quilting.

I, too, send my condolences to you and the family. The quilting pattern is such a touching addition to the casket which has definitely been made with love. What a wonderful idea and creation.

I’m so sorry Dan. Speaking as a mom, I can’t imagine a more beautiful tribute than to have one of my sons, or daughter, build my casket with their own hands.

God bless you and your family!

-- Teri, Kokomo, IN

Dan, I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my own Mom on June 20th.

Wow, I can not imagine the love, tears, emotions, and memories that must have gone into this. As long as they are kept in our hearts, they are never really gone.

With deepest sympathy.
