Our Story.

Two years ago, our world shattered when Xavia Tyree McClary was taken from us. Our only son. A young man who, in his final moments, embodied everything we’d raised him to be: brave, protective, selfless. He saw a young woman being aggressively accosted by an older man, and he didn’t hesitate. He stepped in. He tried to save her.

Despite two years of press conferences, interviews on every major network, and endless pleas for justice, his killer remains free. The silence is deafening. The pain, unfathomable.

In those first raw months, we didn’t know how to survive the weight of losing him. So we did the only thing that made sense: we showed up. Every month, we created themed décor for Xavia’s gravesite—seasonal tributes, personal touches, reminders that his life mattered and his memory would never fade.

We arranged flowers. We crafted symbols of his interests, his personality, his light. We poured our grief into our hands and let love take shape.

It was never meant to be a business. It was survival. It was devotion. It was the only way we knew how to say, “You are still here. You still matter. We will never stop honoring you.”

Then something unexpected happened. Friends, strangers, other grieving families began to ask: “Could you create something for my loved one, too?”

We realized we weren’t alone in this ache. There were others—so many others—searching for ways to honor memories, to create beauty in the midst of unbearable loss, to keep love alive in tangible form.

And so, Sentiments by TALL, Inc. was born.

What started at a gravesite has become a mission: to create meaningful, heartfelt pieces that bring brief moments of peace to families navigating the same unfathomable grief. We craft memorial décor, home pieces, and tributes that honor the irreplaceable lives we’ve lost.
