Sarah's Memory Chest

Since the passing of Sarah, I have searched to find a small cedar chest to hold some of her clothing, blankets and favorite things. This chest was delivered to our home on Friday. As a family we enjoyed gathering some of Sarah's belongings to place in it. We reminisced over sweet memories and special events in her life. This will become a precious family heirloom to remind family today and tomorrow of our little girl.

What an exquisite way to preserve tender and tangible memories of our precious angel, Sarah. Seeing this collection of her belongings reminds me of many happy yet heart-wrenching days we shared and how Sarah found pleasure in the simplist of things. Oh, how I miss our delightful little girl!
