Piles of Life!

My 96 year old friend is no longer able to live alone and so she has had to move into an assisted living center. She has been a constant in my life from childhood. Her family came last week to go through her 96 years of belongings and part w/ the un-needed and to treasure the rest!! We had an estate sale for the un-needed. How said to see a life as only piles and belongings! Good thing memories can never be piled and sold!!

Here are a few sweet tangible memories I received:

An old chest this woman's father made to store her favorite memories!

A beautiful mirror:

A beautiful (to me) broach. The kids in primary Sunday were fascinated!!
