Sorry for your loss! Our Prayers and thoughts are going out to you and your family. 102 WOW!
The quilts are beautiful. The 1st time I saw one was about 2 months ago when I was spending the night in the unit after my Mom's heart attack. I was so amazed, I had never heard of or seen them before. The one they used was beautiful also.
Thank you for sharing this, especially at such a hard time in your life.
God bless you and your quilting group for the wonderful gifts. I'm sure they are gratefully appreciated.
I am a retired nurse and they look so much better and I think, they would give me more peace at a time of loss than the traditional velvet I was used to seeing.

Our HCE group have made various sizes for all the funeral homes and nursing homes in the county, even a patriotic one for the VA home. We make adult, juvenile, and baby sizes. the local funeral home asked us to make them narrower so that when they push the gurney into the hearse it doesn't catch on the wheels. Since we started, many of our members have mentioned them with the passing of family members. We had a hospital comment that when the funeral home comes to take away a baby, they wrap it in the baby passage quilt and carry it out, so much nicer and respectful than the bags. Thank you to everyone who has ever made a Passage Quilt. they are amazing.
