Joshua Gaither was known by his family and friends as the “Explorer of the Universe”. He was a philosophy major who loved traveling the world to experience and learn various cultures. Joshua had a passion for people, animals, poetry and art.

The classic gray granite books represent a yearning to learn as much as he could. He read every book he came across. He was captivated by cats and photographed them from all over the world. Much like Joshua’s personality, cats symbolize grace, intelligence, and independence, hence the sleeping bronze cat on the stack of books. He was very fond of the Ananse Ntontan (a-NAN-Si N-ton-TAN) symbol, which means Spider's Web. It is a symbol of wisdom, creativity, and the complexities of life.

Joshua brought a wit and charm seldom seen, and his sweet smile and kind spirit touched all who knew him. The family wanted a unique monument that could capture his essence and like him, bring a sense of curiosity when seeing such a unique memorial.

Mr. and Mrs. Snively wanted something unique and special but didn’t know how to describe it. After losing their son Jeremiah unexpectedly, Mrs. Snively had a beautiful dream of Jeremiah being happy and free. She remembered her and her husband overlooking grassy hills while standing under a large tree. They were waving to Jeremiah as he was walking off into the bright sunlight, and he was telling them not to worry, everything is going to be okay.

She woke up to the most tranquil feeling she ever had. This angelic dream along with one of her favorite Bible verses, Jeremiah 29:11, gave her the strength to help with their grief and knowing the Lord has other plans for their son. It also set forth the design concept for the Snively memorial.

Mrs. Snively's dream was recreated in fused glass to showcase the vivid colors of greens, blues, and yellows that she remembered. The complete circular shape into the base is symbolic of the strong circle created by family and friends when they surrounded them in their tragic time of need. A simple core hole off to the right allows for perennial flowers to be planted to come back year after year.
