answer:Our mom has plenty of stuff as well, so one year for her birthday, I sent an e-mail to family members asking them to send me ‘X’ number of memories of her via e-mail back to me in the next 24 hours. Once received, I typed them up in a document with their name attached to each one, cut them out into individual strips, folded them up and placed in a decorative jar. She loved it. She keeps the slips in her bedroom and will pull one out and read it. It’s a tribute to her in what she has given to us. It’s much better sharing those stories with her while she is alive than after she is gone. The cost? Minimal. The value? Priceless.
