Don, please forgive me for the poorly worded explanation. I was trying to be brief. I bought a vinyl (not plastic) cone, which is made to be used as a "vase" for flowers at gravesites, at a local store, for $2.00. I inserted (but not glued) it into the hole in the original marble base-top for Clara's stone. It could be removed very easily by simply pulling it back out, without having any effect on the base marble. I intended to buy some artificial flowers to put in it but forgot. I did plant some mums a couple months ago, between Asa and Bertrice Kimbrough's stones, and they are still growing. Thought it would be nice to spruce the place up a little, especially since I know there are people who care. Robert
