Artifacts for Display about a Life Well Lived

When Bonnie read the post about George Parkinson dying, and that his watch, his pen knife and the keys to his truck were on display, their family wondered what would be a good display of artifacts for their lives.

They came up with the following:

Bonnie:
1. a container of mint glide floss.
2. a recording of my belly laugh (which would include a snort) on a speech generation device (SGR) that you could push to play back.
3. a soap stone carving a "Gavagai" to represent my love of studying language acquisition.
4. a can of diet coke.

Joaquim:
1. a recycled paper folded into four so that a clean white square faces the outside of the pocket, with a pen hooked on to it.
2. his daytimer.
3. a collection of coins with his money ledger for his quarterly accounting.
4. his articles, books, and manuscripts, with the one about being a father on the top.

David:
1. His "Life is Good" cap that has a train on it.
2. His drawings of the Olympic Torch runner in Sicamous and the one of him feeding Kiwi.
3. A recording of his laugh on a SGD that I could play back.
4. Two lego objects tied together with a string.
5. A set of his stories/writings from his powerpoint books he has created on the computer.
6. His stuffed cat called "Meow meow".

  1. Arta's Artifacts
    1. a seer stone that I found on the beach at Shuswap -- the same size as Joseph Smith's, but not as powerful
    2. My Memoirs from 1968 -- stacked one on one, these may be taller than my coffin
    3. a slab of Callebaut Chocolate
