Thank you all so very much for the incredibly helpful suggestions, heartfelt expressions of hope and kindness, and warmth. My Mom, Elisa, and I are most grateful. We have split everything up and have already given away most of the boxes.
Our last effort is going towards donating the larger pieces of fabric (>5 yards per bolt) to Habitat for Humanity- for curtains, reupholstering furniture and whatever other ideas they have.
You all have helped make a tremendously daunting task, incredibly rewarding, instead. Christina
