The head stone has been chosen and paid for..or should I say it was donated by a prominate area businessman who contacted the family and said he wanted to do this as long as we didn't tell who....

This is such a blessing!!! Family has been trying to come together, searching for $$$$, as headstones or gravemarkers are NOT cheap.

Mostly, I haven't been talking because I don't want to burden anyone with my grief and feelings.

You could never be a burden to anyone! You might check with the office of the folks who manage the cemetery. Sometimes decorations are removed to facilitate caretaking - sad to say.
