Subject: RE: BS: Supporting a Cancer-Battling Associate
My younger sister died a week ago. I have been seeking pics,tales, etc., of her from friends we had in common. Working on a song for her now. Sometimes memories are all we'll have left, but when we HAVE the chance to 'record' things, it's wise to do it. She leaves four sons, and when I can get the 'stuff' together, I will make sure the 'boys' each get a copy of what I get. I kept a tobacco pouch she made me from a suede jacket of mine she 'borrowed for a few days' back in 1968; one of her poems--about six pages long, and a shot of her with our grandfather. People die. Their memories shouldn't.
Tape your friend, record her, and involve her in the collecting.
