A gift from my father-in-law
He used to be in the newspaper business, he was a columnist and a reporter.
I had a blog on carepages.com for the last week of her life and one week afterward. people posted comments.
the funeral home had a website and people posted comments.
the newspaper he worked at had a website with people posting comments
i asked her older sister to deliver a eulogy about her childhood and then I took it from there and told our love story in a eulogy.
there was the Obit he wrote and the history of her cancer from diagnosis to chemo to remission to the cancer coming back to the wasting away. her vacations: tennessee, disney, and our second honeymoon.
he put it all in a book with some pictures, and had books bound. He gave me 8. I love these treasures.
And the crowning touch. the cover was designed by Audrey’s sister’s daughter in her computer design class. Audrey and mine niece. It makes me cry happy tears to look at it.
