First ofrenda ever is for mom. It is the Day of the Dead. We remember those who have moved on and take joy that death is just another part of life. (Nov 01, 2018)

I’m gathering pieces for an Ofrenda. It’s a cultural thing I grew up with only in passing. But it’s 8 years my Mom’s gone this year. And it feels right. (Oct 17, 2018)

Lovely Light Mom (May 08, 2018)

I snuck this photo of my Mom, Phyllis Crawford, when visiting Northern Virginia in May 2007. My sister was getting her Master’s Degree and many of us were visiting. I love the light in this photo. And I miss Mom. She would have been 72 today had she not died of cancer in 2010. May 8th…

Choose a Gift for Phyllis (May 10, 2013)

Ave Maria was a favorite song of my Mom’s. It was played at her Wedding on June 15, 1968 at St. Rita’s Catholic Church in San Diego, California. And it was also played at her beautiful Memorial Mass on November 6, 2010 at Our Lady of Nazareth Catholic Church in Roanoke, Virginia. Below are both…

On the Eve of Jim & Phyllis’ Wedding (Oct 23, 2010)

This is a time capsule from the night before my parents were married in June of 1968. It’s an audiotape made by my uncle Jerry at my Parent’s rehearsal dinner. It’s quite remarkable. Who will you hear? Who? Age James Crawford 21 Groom Phyllis Silva 22 Bride Art Silva Father of the Bride…
