Hi everyone. I don\u2019t want to seem morbid, but as we get older, death becomes a part of our lives. Rather than wallow in grief, why not celebrate the life that was.<\/p>\n

My mother in law recently passed and I wanted to memorialize her life for my husband and her friends. She spent 40 years teaching, had lots of awards and many, many friends. While I do not know the names of everyone in the photos, her friends were thrilled to see her life showcased in this way.<\/p>\n

Board #1 was set up to show my mother in law\u2019s younger life \u2013 from growing up in Pennsylvania to attending college in Maryland.<\/p>\n

Board #2 was set up to show my mother in law\u2019s later life \u2013 from having children to working in the school districts to enjoying retirement.<\/p>\n

\"memorial1-board-steph-ackerman\"<\/a>Since she spent 40 years teaching, these papers from Little Yellow Bicycle and Karen Foster were perfect for this project. And remember, it\u2019s the memories that matter. So torn, tattered and aged photos and paperwork help reflect on a life that was lived.<\/p>\n
