Family Tree

Mam was so many things to so many people. This memorial can hopefully capture an inkling of who she was through the documents, photographs and objects that remain. But there are other records too: the memories people carry.

Her treacle bread. Preparing the pancake mix and getting to lick the bowl. Her artistry with needles and wool. Her quiet, undomineering presence. The smell of her kitchen. Her humanity and respect for all life. Her love.

What follows are some memories contributed by her family, in no particular order.

The family tree provides a guide to the generations and relationships represented throughout the memorial and in the memories that follow.
