My Mom recently passed and she was a beautiful quilter.. Dad and I decided to display some of her quilts at her viewing... Everyone was so pleased to see her work. Many of the folks that came to her viewing remarked about the quilts that she had made for them - so it was a very fitting remembrance of her. Here, locally people have gone away from the baskets of flowers - many sent wind chimes - forever lanterns, and painted pictures. That was so thoughtful because what does the family do with all the gorgeous flowers that are sent in remembrance. It is not that the flowers are not appreciated - but what to do with them afterward.... I say sending something that a family can keep is a great idea.
