When my Grandma Parker passed away, my mom packed up the remaining items that were not wanted by my Uncle Bill and his wife. My Uncle Bill (my mom's youngest brother) helped my Grandmother financially for many years. As a result, he and his wife had first choice of the items my Grandmother had when she passed away. My mom had carefully helped my Grandma pack these items away several years before. Mom often wrote notes that went with each item. The notes had quotes or stories from my Grandma, explaining where Grandma obtained the item or who gave it to her, etc. This made looking at her things and deciding what we would like to keep in her memory, very special!!
Mom invited my cousins, my Uncles and Aunts to come to her house to take what they wanted of these items. Things they remembered Grandma using and things that made them think of her. After picking the items, we had a cookout and played corn hole and had some great visiting time. Several of us went swimming with the kiddos and we had such a great time!! I Love My Family!!
