To remember..

I wanted to keep the photo that was on my sister’s funeral leaflet as it showed her beauty and her happiness - I’m going to remember that!
The other picture was in the middle of the leaflet and showed my two sisters and me aged about - me 6, Mary 7 and Joan 3years. It was softly produced and well done.

Three good things
1. Got my fingernails dirty planting a small plant elsewhere.
2. John was repairing broken glass in the glass house and tried to speak to me with several nails in his mouth! Men do nails and we do ‘pins’ - sewing!
3. My engagement diamond is sparkling - means he loves me!

I'm so sorry you lost your sister. It can be a devastating loss but I love the keepsake pictures. Pooh says we are lucky to have had someone so worth missing.

@pandorasecho Did Pooh say that? How really delightful!

Some fabulous pictures Maggiemae, a lovely tribute to Joan.

A lovely tribute to remember your sister and, as you say, happy times. You can certainly tell you were sisters when you were young.

I agree with Pooh in Dixie's comment. Nice memories are precious.

Lovely images of a lovely lady.

That will make a great keepsake.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the engagement ring.....thing just stop suddenly... She was a beautiful lady

[Delwyn Forsythe]

Beautiful tribute to your sister. Is that what it means when your engagement ring sparkles? Glad I have an antique one that is super sparkly!

[belinda]

It's nice to have photos to remember people and events and these are obviously quite special now. I wonder what will happen in the future given that lots of photos are kept on computers, hard drives etc.

[Barb]

Lovely photos Maggie - such precious memories of happy times.

[Maggiemae]

@adayinmallacoota Yes, I do too - its all very well putting them in an archival folder but if things change, you can't open that folder!

[Maggiemae]

@sdutoit Yes, Sylvia - they sadly do! Maybe an engagement ring is good to have forever!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Sorry to hear of your loss. Lovely shots.

[Emilie Cartoun]

[Lee]

Sorry for your sad loss.

[Margo Sayer]

The family likeness is easily seen, yet as we grow up much can alter the way we look. Nonetheless nothing can take away the love, affection and concern we have for those e hold dear

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely to have such happy memories at such a trying time.

[Maggiemae]

@s4sayer I think its the only time I have ever seen make-up on Joan. Latterly she might have worn a smear of lipstick but very seldom.

[ChristineL]

I agree with Pooh too! These are lovely images to remember happy times with your sister.

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely tribute to your sister. After the death of my parents, I brought out keepsakes that helped me remember the happy moments.

[Krista Marson]

Wonderful tribute

[Suse♡]

Beautiful tribute, she looks very happy

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is really such a wonderful keepsake for a treasured memory. I think your sister favors you!

[Jen Hudson]

Beautiful keepsakes.
