The transitional spirit altar

Chas set up this altar for his mom the day after she died. Some flowers, a glass of water, a white candle, some lavender flowers in some Florida water, her wedding album from her second marriage turned to a page with pictures of her with Chas, her eyeglasses, and a dish of her favorite treat: Rocky Road ice cream.

Blessed be, Patt. You are missed.

Forgot to send my card home with Daniel, but that's ok. Sending my love to your entire family! May you all find peace in this passing. *hugs*

I am also noteing the Ice Cream, which Daniel told me a many amuseing, smile making stories about. I'm glad that Daniel could tell me a few laughter causing moments about Pat. Those are the moments that will stay with you guys forever. *love*

Brings tears to my eyes: it's so simple, so pure and beautiful. I keep being close to the both of you with my heart and in thoughts...

This Ancestor Altar is a heart-warming sight indeed: bless Chas's heart for making it, and yours for sharing this photo of it with us.
