Allen & Angelo are the heart behind Luna & Grace Keepsakes. 🤍

Before there was a business… before there was a name… there were two little boys who changed my life forever.

My sweet angel babies, Allen & Angelo, were born at birth and passed due to a fatal birth defect. Their lives were brief, but their impact on me as a mother, and as a person, was endless. In the quiet space that followed their loss, I searched for something to hold onto. Something tangible. Something that said they were here. Something that said they mattered. Something that said they are still my sons.

Luna & Grace was created from that love.

Every ring I craft.
Every pendant I shape.
Every inclusion I carefully place by hand.

They all begin with them.

This work is not just jewelry to me. It is connection. It is remembrance. It is honoring the moments that shape us. Whether they are filled with grief, celebration, or both at the same time.

I want every family I serve to know this:

Your person deserves to be named.
Your pet deserves to be remembered.
Your moment deserves to be honored.

That is why I don’t use order numbers.

Because you are not an order number.
Your story is not a transaction.
Your love is not replaceable.

Whether I am preserving ashes, breastmilk, dried flowers, fur, hospital bracelets, pregnancy test caps, soil from a gravesite, or pieces of a life-changing moment… My heart is always with you while I work.

No matter your grief.
No matter your celebration.
No matter your story.

Allen & Angelo are the reason I understand how sacred this work truly is. And they are the reason I will always hold space for you here. 🤍✨

I can happily announce that we have partnered with a locally owned business that provides beautiful keepsake jewelry. This business cares about you and your loved one just as much as my funeral home does.
