Need Ideas!!
If anyone has any ideas for ways to personalize a memorial service, please let me know. I'm trying to come up with special things we can do but it's not that easy.
I'd LOVE to release either a dove or butterflies BUT.... her memorial is too late in the day to relese doves because the owners don't want them flying at nighttime.... and butterflies... while I found a place that could accomodate me.... they cost 50 bucks for a dozen of them and I don't have the extra 50 bucks for it. Wouldn't that be pretty though?
I'm already going to display pictures of her everywhere, and I thought about handing out index cards and having people write a memory down and reading them but for one.. it would take a long time.. and two.. half the people coming are visually impaired. So tha'ts not going to work either.
So have any of you ever been to a memorial where they did something special? Or can you think of any ideas for me? I'm open to most anything right now..............

I "rented" 4 doves.... well, they are actually white homing pigeons... but they look like doves.... anyway... we're going to release them in honor of mom.
"Oh that I had wings like a dove. For I would fly away and be at rest." Old Testament, Psalms 55:6
And one other thing too.... My friend's cat is really sick and he might end up losing him.. so everyone think about poor Aka in the next few days.

I think the butterflies would have been really cool but pricey....but then I read the scripture you posted and I think you made the right choice. My thoughts and prayers are with you sweetie.
Yeah--the doves and the scripture sound just right. Sorry I couldn't think of anything else for you.
Why not ask everyone to talk about a memory, that works I saw it done at a friends funeral.
