My sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. She lived a very long time and it was wonderful for you to be there with her at that moment.
What a thoughtful idea, I have never heard of passage quilts either but it is a wonderful wonderful thing and yours is just beautiful. I had hospice for 5 months when my husband was ill and that would make a really great pay it forward for all of the wonderful people who shared in my husbands life during those 5 months and the care and that was also shown to me during that time. I will have to think heavily on this idea. Does the passage quilt go to the deceased's family or does it stay with the group it is given to and reused for other families? Either way, it is a beautiful way to start your loved one on their next journey.
Thanks so much for sharing your story and the inspiration to make some to for Hospice.
