Easter Celebration 2025

Calla Lilies

 



We had a wonderful Easter Sunday celebration with extended family hosted by husband M's sister.  Her step daughter brought this delicious 5 layer cake (Brownie, chocolate chip cookie, red velvet cake, cheesecake, Oreo cake) in honour of her daughter's 24th birthday so we happily sang in her honour.

My sister-in-law always has fresh flowers on display, I am showing her beautiful calla lilies.

Himalayan salt urn

She had placed the Himalayan salt urn which contained her recently departed husband's ashes in the back yard garden.  It will eventually wash away in the rain.  There were 2 bags of ashes inside.  One bag will be spread in the ravine behind their house, the other bag will be spread in a beach up north near their former cottage.

What a meaningful and heartfelt gathering—celebrating life, both present and past. The layered cake sounds incredible, and the thoughtful touches, from the calla lilies to the salt urn in the garden, beautifully honor your sister-in-law’s love and remembrance.
