Sharing a special layout-Memory Lane

This is a special layout that I actually created late last year.  This was as a tribute for my mother in law.  She passed away May 9, 2011.  Just one week after celebrating her 69 birthday.  She was a fantastic mother, grandmother and friend.  We miss her beautiful spirit everyday.
