#001 above
When a loved one dies, the loss , to most people, is devastating. Creating a fitting memorial is a way of coping with the grief. Camellia's is going to be the Thunder Bay rep. for a company who manfactures the most amazing and affordable memorials. A friend of mine gave them a photo of her loved one sitting by the fire in the forest, and the artist was able to reproduce the photo onto the memorial stone.

Happy Mother's Day

Have you ever stopped to wonder how this holiday came into existence? In 1906, a year after her mother’s death, a Philadelphia woman, Anna Jarvis, began campaigning for a day on which all Americans would celebrate their Mums. Jarvis’s simple description of the day’s purpose: “To let (mothers) know we appreciate them, though we do not show it as often as we ought.” After spreading the word through church meetings and writing letters to government representatives and businessmen, she had nearly all 46 states observing Mother’s Day within 3 years, and in 1914 it became a national holiday. Nowadays mothers come in all shapes and forms as our family units change.
