This can be done fairly easily and looks very nice. This also will alow people to view these memories in a very decorative way.

Use them on the front page and then put pictures and other memorabilia about your mom inside.

I am sorry about your loss. You may not have time for all this with all the visiting relatives and choose a floral paper memorial at your church and give the flower arrangements to a nursing home or hospital like we did.

I am sorry for your loss. It hurts like hell and I hate that our loved ones have to go.

[or you can choose one by itself]. get a beautiful ribbon one that goes with the flowers you chose and one that reminds you of her and tie it around the flower[s] in a small bow. find a glass box that would be able to fit the arrangement inside. or you could press the flowers and tie them together and frame them in a nice frame. i did this after my mom's funeral.hope this helps Back to top kass Yahoo User Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2007 3:01 am    Post subject: You can make a 1.5-2" tall box (similar to a lid of a shoe box) out of wood. Find things that remind you of your mother and fill the box. Place the flower petals around these items and pour liquid epoxy over them. Allow to dry and you will be able to display these items forever. Back to top
