Here are some pictures of that memorial and a few of her over the years.
We planted a magniloa tree in her honour and mixed her ashes into the soil around the tree. Everyone took a turn mixing her into the dirt and spreading it under the tree. Later, we all took a turn watering the tree. The tree will bloom around her birthday. Big white blossoms.
A big suitcase filled with photos surfaced as her kids cleared out her room. I never knew these photos existed. I really enjoyed looking through them. Many were old family snapshots from when her kids were young. Others were family snapshots from when my Grandmother was young. I also saw her wedding picture, her parents 50th anniversary picture, and another of her parents as young adults. In many ways I felt like I was learning about a whole new part of who she was. My aunt will be scanning the best of those pictures and I am looking forward to having those files.
And finally, a few pics from the last few times I saw her.

Hi Bev, I remember your Grandma well and she was a great lady. I am sorry for your loss.

I am so glad you uncovered those old pictures Bev. it is so nice to remember someone as a young, vibrant person and to see that part of her life that you had never seen before.
Nice pix bev.
