Memorial Ornaments

A place on the tree for the people and pets who are missed.

These pages cover the practical side of remembering someone at Christmas: what goes on a memorial ornament, whether to use one date or two, what the cardinal and hummingbird mean, how to give one as a sympathy gift, and pages written for mothers, fathers and pets. If the words are hard to find, the wording guide has forty, grouped by who they are for.
