Picture Boards
By Teresa Smeigh 2019
My mom sadly passed away 6 years ago this month. There are a lot of details to take care of for a memorial service, least of all, the picture boards of mom’s life. We went through all the boxes of pictures at dad’s house, and of course, all the relatives added their favorite photos.
The day of the service the picture boards are all out in front for people to peruse until the service started and then afterward as she was cremated.
Choosing the pictures was really difficult as we tried to make sure everyone in the family was represented.

Sad times.

Yes it was rough. Harder on my dad losing his life’s partner.

Yes it was very difficult and we have the same thing to look forward too when dad finally passes. It’a been almost a year and a half since his stroke and he’s still hanging in there, but not much quality of life in a nursing home. He wants to die and be with his wife (my mom).

A good story, Tessa. We had no problem in our family as I was the only one who cared about all the old pictures. Now I’ll pass them on to my children. 🙂 — Suzanne

Thank you! It was a tough time. Probably have to do it again when my father passes. Although since my move I have no idea where my pictures are. Plus my father had a stroke and dementia and he probably has no idea where he put all those old pictures. Depends on whether we can find them.
