I really liked the idea of everyone contributing one brick in memory of a loved one. My mother recently passed away after a 10 year battle with breast cancer. I loved her so much and want an incredible way to remember her; she deserves only the best. I will mention the brick idea to my siblings and father. Whatever we choose to remember her by will be incredible.

After my mother died, my father and I started making new traditions. Every special day or occasion we discuss and create something new and different to celebrate mom's life. It has ranged from a hand-picked bouquet of daffodils to a dinner out with family and friends. As old memories are revisited with a new light we all have become closer.
