Last week i lost one of my Best Friends of 40 years.
it was very difficult. She passed away on my birthday. Today was her funeral, but she lives a few hours away, and I wasn’t able to attend the funeral. I am so grateful for them having it on Xoom.
I am creating an 8 x 8 photo album for her two younger sisters. Do you think they need to be exactly the same? Or if they’re just similar that would be OK? This is going to be very difficult but I’m excited to do it at the same time. I’m hoping to find one of the pictures when we were 12 years old and at diabetic camp and then I think I have one from when we were 17 and at camp as well. Keeping my fingers crossed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I agree with everyone...similar should be okay. You create the album however you'd like. At the end, they will LOVE it

I think similar albums would be perfect especially since they’d be easy to tell apart. This will be great for you. Be prepared for the emotions! It will help you work through your grief.
Such a thoughtful and wonderful gift!!!

Oh gosh! I'm so sorry that is so hard! I think making them different would be great. Then the girls can get together and look at each others. I received small album when my dad passed from his co-workers as he had been there for 20 years and it was mostly emails and cards, but I love to go back and read the words.
So include stories of you two and all the fun things you did that they might not know about. They will love it. Maybe make a 3rd one for you!
Hugs and I'm so very sorry!
