I cannot help you in what you are looking for but, I just wanted to give you a "Welcome to the board"!
There is no need for you to feel embarrassed in asking for anything here. We all have our "speciality" areas and need help outside of those.

I also wanted to say that I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a parent.

I am Susie. I usually post at Garden Junk.

I have experienced loosing my Mom too. Funeral Homes usually have a world of info creating rememberances. They could probably share their sources. They even sent a special memory book mark and an encased rose from her grave to me after my Mom passed.

I would also go to Google and type - Memory crafts, Mother's Day Crafts, Condolences for Mother, sympathy cards.

God Bless you and your brother through this.

welcome to the fourm! sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, I to lost mine 24 years ago and it still hurts, heres a memory craft I made for my family of my mother, she so loved flowers, the poem went around the craft boards a few years ago ,I still cry when I read it, my computer crashed and I lost the page I had saved of this,you could find a nice scrapbook page, and write the poem and add your photo, made one for my DBIL for his mom and changed the words from roses to flowers, and used a different page, I am sure the page I used was a freebe from some where, if you think you would like this I will hunt for the page, this was a 8x10 size and I put it in a nice frame
