Beloved daughter, sister and friend.

Step softly because here
A dream lies buried

That is a beautiful saying and very fitting as well. We plan to put "Fearlessly lived her dreams" on the front with her name/date. She achieved a lot in her short life and never seemed to be scared or fearful to go experience things on her own. She worked hard to be able to travel and do the things she wanted to do.

That’s a lovely phrase. I’m so sorry things haven’t worked out so far with getting the photos - seems crazy under the circumstances, which you are able to prove. I really hope you are successful some time soon. Your daughter sounds like an amazing person.

I am looking for suggestions/wording help for my DD's memorial headstone. She and her boyfriend both passed away in a terrible car accident in Aug. They adored each other and were very much in love and making plans to spend the rest of their life together.
We want to acknowledge that bond on the headstone and somehow relay that they passed together without getting too wordy. This is what we have so far:
"Much loved daughter of D & M" or "Precious daugther of D & M"
"Cherished sister of S & S"

Then we want to add a final line about DD's boyfriend. This is where I need your help and suggestions. Something along the lines of:
"Eternal love and soulmate of DB"
"Eternally bound with DB"
"Adored and Loved into Eternity with DB"

Any and all suggestions are welcome as we are really not sure these sound/feel right. DD had a way with words. If she were still here, she would be the one I would be asking, so I want to get this right.

Beloved soulmate of DB
