    Grave Matters

    The joyful dolphin

    By Manni Goldbeck
    July 11, 2023

This heart-warming image is often found on the graves of children, depicting playfulness, joy and beauty, harmony, innocence and grace, and conveying the wish that the dolphin carries them gently over the waters to the heavenly realm.
