The Valentine— A Symbol of Enduring Love

The life-sized bronze sculpture entitled Valentine is part of Evergreen Washelli’s permanent collection. It is the creation of sculptor George W. Lundeen, whose skill in realistically and sensitively capturing his subjects makes his work irresistible. The Valentine— A Symbol of Enduring LoveLundeen’s work evokes emotion from the viewer–memories of a loved grandparent, parent, or perhaps a spouse. Gentle memories can have great healing power.

Evergreen Washelli is proud to have the Valentine to share with the public. This work of art has a timelessness, beauty, and emotion that can speak to all of us. It is located in our funeral home chapel atrium and we welcome the opportunity to share it with you. here.

Memorializing a Loved One

Evergreen Washelli offers a variety of ways to remember a loved one. Whether by a commemorative piece of jewelry or a keepsake bracelet, there are many of ways to keep your loved one close to your heart. These beautiful wearable remembrances allow for a portion of cremated remains, a lock of hair, or a thumbprint to be permanently integrated.

Memorializing a Loved One

A fingerprint is a signature, an impression. Historically, fingerprints were used in ancient seals, Roman tiles, Egyptian tombs, Chinese pottery, and Babylonian clay tablets. They served as decorations, and sometimes as an autograph, a way for one to leave a lasting mark, saying “this is me.” Many things can be learned by people’s fingerprints: their age, gender, the kind of work they do, and even health. Whether it is to memorialize a family member, or give a gift of your own print to a loved one, thumbprint keepsakes are an imprint of a life we remember.

We are proud to offer unique keepsake remembrances such as these thumbprint pendants. The surface is inviting to the touch, the back may be engraved with a message, name, or date. These keepsakes form a connection with those we keep close to our hearts. For more information about our keepsake jewelry, contact us.

Am I Forgetting Your Face?

When you lose someone you love dearly, you find yourself vowing never to forget that person. Then one day, you may wake up in a panic because you can't quite remember what he or she looked like. You may think you are being disloyal or that something is wrong with you. However, this is not at all what is happening. You will never forget that person. Am I Forgetting Your Face?But sometimes certain aspects connected with the death are too painful to remember and our mind protects us with "blank spots" until a time when we can face this a little easier.


If you are worrying that you are forgetting the person, put that worry aside. You are not! Getting out pictures, a video if you have one, or a recording of his or her voice will quickly bring back the image of your loved one's face or the sound of the voice in your mind. This is one of the reasons to keep a memory box of special pictures or to create a memorial page or collage of pictures.

Affirmation: When I wonder if I am forgetting your face, I will get out a special picture of you and smile at you.
