Star Registry

Perhaps, they are not stars

But rather openings in Heaven,

Where the love of our lost ones

Pours down through

and shines upon us

To let us know they are happy.



-Inspired by Eskimo Legend


Since 1979, the International Star Registry has been bringing customers dreams to earth by offering a unique and magical opportunity to name a star. Honor your loved one and visit http://www.starregistry.com/
