MANSFIELD(CBSDFW.COM) - A Mansfield couple is beaming Thursday now that they can give their baby sons a proper memorial where they're buried.

"We want to honor every single person who thought about us even the people that just sent us a message, we are very thankful," says Andy Theus.

The couple were hoping to raise $2,500 for headstones for their sons who both died prematurely.

Minutes after their story aired Wednesday night and was posted here,  the donations and messages started pouring in.

They say they cannot wait to buy the headstones and are planning to use the extra money on a memorial showing the boys pictures.
