Putting Mother to Rest

We put mother’s ashes to rest last month. She is in the wall along with Stewart now. We are working on getting an engraved plaque for her that will look very similar to Stewart’s, but that will take some time. Everyone was there, and we all talked a bit afterwards, telling stories and remembering her.

A few weeks later, I had everyone over to go through her jewelry. She had a lot of jewelry: I laid it all out on the bed in the guest room so we could all see it and sort through it. Some of it was really nice pieces of turquoise & silver – some was just junk costume stuff. We made sure everyone got something of hers to remember her by, and what was left was donated to the Bishop’s Attic, mother’s favorite second-hand store.
