The LifeGem is a certified, high-quality diamond created from the carbon of your loved one as a memorial to their unique life. The LifeGem diamond provides a way to embrace your loved one's memory day by day. The LifeGem is the most unique and timeless memorial available for creating a testimony to their unique life. Your LifeGem memorial will offer comfort and support when and where you need it, and provide a lasting memory that endures just as a diamond does. Forever.

Ya know, $39 for a single mouse-click or keystroke? I have to wait until February 8th until the fee can be waived (after a full year of Vonage service). Man, I wish I didn't have integrity – I'd be a billionare by now.
