I THINK ABOUT YOU DAY AND NIGHT

This artifact and all herein have been made manifest in loving memory of Grandma Pearl.

Born July 11, 1889 - Deceased February 11, 1983
_____________________________________________

You are hereby cordially invited to attend this visitation with Grandma Pearl on the 40th anniversary of her crossing the veil. She has been patiently awaiting your arrival and is very much looking forward to the pleasure of your company. To facilitate this interaction, certain artifacts have been manifested in loving remembrance of her presence and influence on all those for whom she cared during her tenure within this realm. Rarefied archival audio and video recordings of Grandma Pearl have been sourced in order to evoke her essence within our current domain of materialization, allowing all who desire so to spend a few precious moments in her company. Envision yourself sitting with her by the kitchen window, enjoying a slice of fresh baked pie and an ice cold pop while her bird-like voice sweetly chirps to you of half remembered occasions and mementos lost.

Included in this collection is a 16 page PDF book of remembrance and a 7:00 minute video collage of Pearl in her home and with her family. As this is a personal family memorial artifact, it is made available for free download to any who may wish to experience it, be they family, friends or the curious.

ANAZANAUT

Walking with the broken rocks upon the heaving thrust of mountain echoes, movement becomes challenged. Something may have taken hold here, but its residue has since faded into the dust of winds long blown away. Though memory shards crack and splinter through the ice age history once foretold, there are now no more than fragments upon a beach receding beyond the breaking waves. ... more
