How are the pictures being put on here?

Is this a plaque & you are attaching the pics yourself?

I love this idea

The slots are magnetic. I am gonna email the pictures to Channa and she is gonna place them on there. She said all you have to do is laminate the pics, then place small magnets on back to stick. Cant wait to get it. Thats was just the sample

another memorial pome


The Broken Chain

We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I have to do something like this....i have been very lucky so far in my life and i still have many many of my family members, but my FH lost his mom years back to CA. It was rough, he is such a mama's boy.

Not sure how i'm going to incorporate her memory yet.

I probably will steal your peom JOC, lol

My DH lost his mother too... WE had this poem put on a memory candle which was lit at our church. We lit our tapers for our unity candles from her memorial candle. Then had the candle and her picture up at the RH

If Roses Grow In Heaven

If roses grow in heaven lord
please pick a bunch for me
place them in my mothers arms
and tell her they're from me

Tell her that I love her and miss her
and when she turns to smile
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while

Because remembering her is easy
I do it everyday
but there's an ache within my heart
because I'm missing her today.

---

I'm literally sitting at my desk at work with tears running down my face.

I think I might have to do that for FH's mother. She died of breast cancer when he was 16.

Aaannnd..... still crying!

Re: Memorial table at RH?

Other then having pictures and a candle on the escort or guest book tables, where else could you make a memorial table. Is it really just for the church?? Is it morbid and depressing to have it at the reception? I'm torn now

Re: Memorial table at RH?

BUMP

Re: Memorial table at RH?

Both FH's grandparents recently passed away - a day before our intended wedding date in 2011

I'm setting up a 2 special picture frames - one honoring their memory and the other with a kind saying or poem. I'm also arranging a memory vase with flowers to celebrate their life and passing in the center of the arrangement.

It's a great gesture and I'm sure whatever you do will be special to you and your family.

We are specifically having it at our reception.... I was thinking of putting it in the lobby on the paino when you walk in & then inside the ballroom either on our table or next to us on its own table!

Re: Memorial table at RH?

We didnt do a memorial table per se. We didnt want to rememeber the day with sadness. We didnt want candles with sayings on them on how much we missed them, and we had one VERY close family member that was gone.

We opted to have a cool table during the CH with old pix. His Grandparents, mine. Baby pix of us. It was a table of laughter and love and smiles.

It made me feel like the people were there.

For ME I could not have a burning candle and the like. It would have turned into a sad memory and thats not what I wanted.

And that does not mean its not right for you or others.

Re: Memorial table at RH?

We have a table to the side on the escort table that will have the glass memorial cylinder with a photo collage of family that are no longer with us. I'm going to put this poem in the middle and have the pictures around it.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
“Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best

Re: Memorial table at RH?

i am crying at all of these posts! poems and ideas are beautiful!
i am def planning on doing something in memory of both our our grandparents who were dear to us!
