    The geese flying south to Florida, the wedding she did not live to see, the laughter echoing amongst the circus clowns and grandma's flower garden blooming with grandchildren--what an endearing way to preserve the love and memories for the kids. Congrats on beautiful workmanship and love straight from your heart too.

    Your Aunt would be very proud of how you used her material from her dresses. I am sure that each of you had memories of when she wore that dress. I am sure she was very loved.... and the love comes through in the wonderful smiles.
