Janice Plewes - The gift of memories

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.  ~Author Unknown

Cameron would like to put together something that the children will be able read and cherish as they grow – memories, stories, and photos of their very cool mom.  So, friends and family are on a mission and are counting on all of us.

If you are able to share the ‘gift of memories’, please read the following from Geoff explaining what you can do:

Hi all, I’ve spoken with Cam about images and stories of Janice and he’s looking to collect as much as possible. The more record of the kids have of Janice the better, when they’re ready for it. 

I’ll be publishing a comprehensive book to act as posterity for the kids, families, and friends. Cam would like the book as substantial and comprehensive as possible. It will include images, condolences, stories, thoughts, prayers, and artifacts from Janice’s life and the past few days. The book will be edited by Janice’s close friends and family.

I want to make the collection of text and images as simple and flexible as possible for everyone who would like to contribute. I’d also like to reiterate Cam’s request for everyone to send as much as possible and as great a variety of things as possible. This is extremely important to him.  

I’ve set up an email account rememberingjanice@gmail.com, as well as a file sharing location at www.rememberingjanice.com *

Please email or post anything and everything you have, and pass this message far and wide to anyone who may like to contribute or be involved. The file sharing location is ideal for print quality images.  Please be sure to note your name and relationship to Janice.

Some of these items will also be included in a slide show at the memorial service, so there is some urgency in gathering items this week. The collection effort for the book will continue for several weeks however.

A gift of memories…well, it really is priceless.
