Hello,
I was surfing the web looking for ideas on grave marker decoration/cleanup and I cannot believe I found your beautiful site! Thank you so much for the work you do...I reside in Upstate NY and travel 300 miles to visit my family plot which includes (1)Vet gm, & (3) family members - the area around their GM is pretty ugly and am thinking about adding mulch around the areas(the cemetery allows plantings) & perhaps some pachysandra...just a thought. But thank you for your inspirational website!

My dad died this past Dec. and I wanted something special to put on his grave for the winter. My original plans were to have a nice big flower arrangement or wreath made until my mom mentioned a grave blanket. I had no idea what this was so I got on the internet and searched around for a couple of days and felt compelled to keep returning to Kathy's site. After e-mailing Kathy, I received a call from her with-in minutes. I ordered a blanket and received it in 2 days. Nothing could have been so beautiful and wonderful for my dad.
I can't thank you enough for such a beautiful blanket and for your kind, compassionate words that you spoke to me (a total stranger). You are a God sent. God bless you in every area of your life.
Placing the blanket on dad's grave was the beginning of a healing process for me.

Thank you for putting together such a beautiful and natural grave blanket.
We have received many compliments and some were stunned by the fact that the blanket is all natural - except for the ribbons, ornaments, etc.
I will continue to purchase on a yearly basis.
Thanks again,

About 3yrs ago at the age of 54 years I had 4 small strokes so I have bad days every once in awhile. I really love the blanket. I have hunted for so long. I will definetly be a regular Christmas customer. I could see your heart in that blanket. You must be one of GOD's earth angels. I know my parents are as happy as I am. Thank you so very much for your kindness. Bless you and yours for the Holidays.

I would just like to thank you so much for the beautiful grave blanket that you made for me. It was just perfect. You spent time on the phone helping me to decide how I wanted it decorated and what I could add to it to make it more personal for my father in law. You were very helpful and caring.I was even able to get the blanket the very next day. It is very evident to me that this is a God given gift of yours and I am so glad you are able to share it with others and make a difference for our loved ones too. I have spread the word around and would recommend you to everyone who is need of a grave blanket or any type of greenery or flowers.You do a beautiful job. God bless you and your family.

I received the cemetery blanket I ordered from Kathy yesterday, and was overwhelmed by its size and beauty. I searched the internet looking for a blanket for the winter for my boy Daniel who passed away at age 17. I had ordered one last year from the local cemetery here, and was so disappointed. What a wonderful surprise when I opened the package from Kathy!!!! She shipped it to me in New York, and I received it in 2 days! Kathy, I can tell your heart was in this when you made it. Ironically, you placed a little drum ornament on the blanket, and I used to call my baby, MY LITTLE DRUMMER BOY!!!!
I am so pleased with the beautiful craftsmanship, and the size of the blanket, I know where I will be shopping when the need arises. I have already spread the word here in NY, about what beauty, quality and heartfelt love went into this. Thank you for being so accommodating, and shedding some happiness this sad time of year..
I can't say Thank You enough. ]

This one was from Springfield Mo.
On 10-30-05, my 5 yr old daughter died in a car wreck.
"As I was making this little girls as I had made my little girls every year, my heart was in it. It was made with a big pink bow, and pink roses to match". Then I suggested to the Mom to put any ornaments pertaining to her daughter on it, personalize it. Like on my little girls, I put teddy bears, horses, gingerbread men, santa claus, angels and the list goes on and on. On Christmas you can put on an ornament, since the grave blanket is out all winter, Valentines Day, you can put on another ornament, what ever fits your needs.

Prior to Warm Gestures, I had seen Kathy's Grave Blankets.
I immediately wanted one made for my mother. I'm very particular and wanted something attactive and with color for her grave. That was 15 YEARS AGO. I've had one made every year since. These are just beautiful. I keep my mothers on all winter. I would highly recommend Warm Gestures to anyone for their Loved One. I've been more than satisfied, not just with the beautiful grave blanket, but the cost too. I've shopped around over my years and Warm Gestures prices are reasonable!

Kathy is my sister-inlaw.
When my brother's wife passed away last October 2006, she made a beautiful grave blanket with red roses on it. It was so nice of her to think of my brother. Kathy also delivered and put the grave blanket down. He was really at a loss at what to do and that Kathy was very helpful to him. I would recommend her work to anyone.

I ordered two grave blankets last year from Kathy.
I received them, they were wonderful, beautifully made. The finest quality. I recommend her product to anyone.

Last year I bought a grave blanket for my daughter to put on her fathers grave. We have had a hard time finding things that look appropriate for winter and nothing seems to last until spring. Kathy showed me the grave blanket, I had never seen anything like it before and thought it was a wonderful idea. The price was very reasonable and the blanket lasted all winter. It looked very nice for Christmas and my daughter was able to add Christmas decorations to it. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and plan to buy another one this year. Very creative idea. Thank you Kathy!
