To remember.. by maggiemae

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.

Lovely images of a lovely lady.

That will make a great keepsake.

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

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!
December 28th, 2016  
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.
December 28th, 2016  
Lovely photos Maggie - such precious memories of happy times.
December 28th, 2016  
@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!
December 28th, 2016  
@sdutoit Yes, Sylvia - they sadly do! Maybe an engagement ring is good to have forever!
December 28th, 2016  
Sorry to hear of your loss. Lovely shots.

Sorry for your sad loss.

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
December 28th, 2016  
Lovely to have such happy memories at such a trying time.
December 28th, 2016  
@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.
December 28th, 2016  
I agree with Pooh too! These are lovely images to remember happy times with your sister.
December 28th, 2016  
Lovely tribute to your sister. After the death of my parents, I brought out keepsakes that helped me remember the happy moments.
December 29th, 2016  
Wonderful tribute
December 29th, 2016

December 29th, 2016
