Below is the video I put together for my mom's visitation and funeral. It was special to be able to spend the time on this and be surrounded by her energy while creating it.
I started recording my mom in the last 5 or so years of her life. She loved telling her story and laughed while doing it. It was not difficult to capture her true persona through these audio recordings.
These clips appear in the order of them being recorded, thus reflecting the progression of dementia. The titles of the clips may or may not accurately represent the overall message of the clip. :)
These aren't necessarily packed with clips of mom, but more a reflection of her efforts to always provide an environment of family, love and laughter.
In mom's final days, Miriam Pico happened to be visiting French Manor as she performs for the residents there. We were blessed to have her visit my mom to play Amazing Grace for her.
