Memorial Board for My Baby Sister Patti

I never would have thought that the next memorial board project was going to be for someone near and dear to my heart.

My baby sister, Patti Golden-Olmeda died on October 25th, 2009. She was 43 years old. It was sudden and unexpected and left all of us in shock and just devastated.


Going through the memories of pictures of her short life and the love and laughter we had together as a family has helped in my grief and in dealing with the first two weeks following her death, the viewing, the memorial service, and now the holidays without her.

I am posting the pics of the memorial boards from her memorial service. I have since added pages such as her Memorial Service table containing her ashes, the Memorial Service card that was given to all guests at her service and pictures of her internment.


I have put all my pages in a 12x12 album as a wonderful celebration of her short life on this earth. She is now dancing in the arms of Jesus.

I will miss you DeeDee and know that I will see you and Mom again with no more pain, no more tears. I love you to the moon and back again. Your Big Sissy - Deb
