Legacy

My mother didn't really get the chance to create a legacy for herself because she died so young. I want to do something more than just getting a nice tombstone for her, I want to do something that is going to actually create a lasting memory of her for the rest of the world. I'm already planning to create a web page so people can donate in memory of her. Does anybody have any other ideas? I want the whole world to know who she was.

Hi Julie,

My mom, too, went before her time. I lost her to cancer this past December. My mom loved nature and children, so my dad and I had a tree planted in her memory at one of her favorite parks, right next to the playground, so families can enjoy the shade that it provides.

The web page is a really nice idea. What did your mom like? Value? What helped me was to think about the things that mattered most to my mom and to go from there.
