My mother will be gone five years on Dec, 28 2013 . There will still be times I want to call her to tell her something cute her great grand
daughter did. Mom had 3 great grand sons and she so trilled to have a great granddaughter with blond hair and blue eyes. Mom eyes would light up whenever she saw her .
I can remember us all being at the nursing home for mom's birthday and her great granddaughter was given a gift to give to her GG mom . She did not want to let go of the gift
as she thought it was her birthday gift , my mom looked up at me with a twinkle in her eyes and no words where needed . I miss seeing my mom's eyes twinkles when she smiled .
Mom knew I was not able to hear in her finial days so we talk on the phone so I could use my HA and phone to make her loud enough for me to hear her.

My older sister and I had birthday party for a friend of our at mom's house and our friend b/f was there too. He was a Black man and mom was flirting with him the whole party.
Another other guest went up to my sister and said " I am so jealous , my mom would never look at a Black man how come your mom is not prejudice too?" My dad was no longer alive and our friend
thought is was great that our little old mom thought her b/f was cute. Mom not being prejudice was one of best gift she could had given to her daughters .
As all three of us have daughters that are Black and we knew our mother would love our babies and not rejects our babies . I will always deeply love my mother for
teaching us not to judge a person by the color of their skin . It take a wise and kind person to do this.
Rest in peace my beloved mother , for you had earn it. And say 'Hi' to dad and Finlay for me.
 
I can relate to wanting to call my mom and tell her about my grandsons. Sadly, she never met them or my wonderful son-in-law. She died Nov. 18, 1992. :(

Yes, our memories and lessons learned are precious.

That is very sweet of you, but since I am not a religious person I would rather you not. Thank you so much for wanting to do this for my mother.
 
Really sweet. I can tell your mom was very proud of you.

I can understand how you feel . My granddaughter mostly like does not remember my mother as she was so young when mom dies. My dad dies in 1967 ,he was 50 and mom was 25 when they got married. Dad would tell people mom was his daughter and we where his grandkids and mom was would try her best not to LOL.

I am sorry to hear. Thank you for our condolences. It's hard to lose your mother , mom was 93 yo when she dies . She outlived her own family , there where 8 children in her family and her one of favorite sister was not buried in the cemetery with their parents . My mom was very sad about this and she could not remember when her sister dies because she was a little girl. So I did a family research and made some phones calls and got the dates of mom's sister birth and death and had a stone engrave with her name and dates of birth and death and my daughter and son in law put it in front of mom's parents' headstone. My mom felt better having her sister's name in the same cemetery she was going to buried in. It was some work getting the dates but it was worth my time to help my mom be more at peace .
I was named after that sister of mom so it was also my way of honoring her as I never met her.

I am missing her more now because my niece is having a huge wedding , and her fiancé is Chinese and they're having a Chinese tea ceremony
for their wedding and there will be married by a Rabbi . And my niece's dad is from Triad and she may cerebrate this in her wedding too. The wedding is next year , my mom would had loved being there for the Chinese tea ceremony . I can't help but wish my mom was here to be apart of this.
 
My mother's large picture and 2 framed scarves with jewelry are on the wall above my bed.....She was murdered in 1962 at age 37....she had a very short life....but remembered to this day with tremendous respect....raising single-handily 6 kids with a waitress job....Everyone says I look like her and have her strength....It's an honor to me...rest her soul in Peace.

I have a silk stole my mom got when she was Cuba with dad. It's big, I wish I could put it in a frame . That is so sad your mom was murder .
Mom and dad where married by the ship captain on their way to Cuba for their honeymoon. When they got back home mom parents was upset they where not married by a Rabbi and that they where not there. So mom and dad got married again by a Rabbi.

Having come close only recently to losing my own mother, I certainly sympathize with you. I can't imagine my life without my parents. They've done so much for me, I don't want to think of the time when they're gone. I'll pray for strength for your family over the holidays. It's never easy losing those we love and we never stop looking for them....

I m sure your mom would love to be there in person, and enjoy yet another ethnicity in the family! :welcome:
Perhaps you can feel her being there in spirit instead, and in your heart - the more you think of of her, the closer she is to you!

I think you can-

Custom Shadow Box Display Case by JM Craftworks - contemporary - frames - by Etsy

It's called glass shadow box framing, and you can inquire about two glass walls instead of one,
so the stole can be visible front and back this way.

Shadow Boxes | Shadow Box | Display Case | Wood Display Case | Manufacturer of Shadow Boxes**** Military Shadow Box

I think if you really thought it trough, you could even make one yourself -
from some second hand wall display cabinet with a glass door, big enough,

anything, anything will do.
simply screw a hook in the top, and arrange the stole on a nice hanger.

Just make sure the moths wont get to it -seal it or something.
Perhaps ask a furrier beforehand how to protect the stole while it is in a case from environment and such.
