My mother died less than 6 months ago on Dec.11, 2011, just 2 weeks shy of Christmas. Since that time I've developed a new appreciation for the gift of life in general and for my ancestors (those I knew and those before my time).

The majority of the memorials I create are for family, distant family and friends of our family.
