Treasured keepsake memory bear

Mandy did an incredible job on this memory bear made from my late sister clothes who we sadly lost when she was only 5yrs old. The attention to detail is amazing, and the fabric placement is perfect. It’s the perfect way to keep a loved one’s memory close. Highly recommend her work!
Such a beautiful memory keepsake.

Freya stopped by for a visit today I can just hear Alex saying, “mom, find some friends of your own…Freya’s my friend.”
I had given Freya some of Alex’s things. Freya had a couple of these items, a swimsuit top and a light robe, made into a Memory Bear. Her aunt, who lives in England, makes these amazing keepsakes.
The burgundy parts are from Alex’s swimsuit tops and the body is made from her robe and a beret. The bear now has a place with her favorite blanket (foof) and her ashes on the fireplace mantel. Such a beautiful memory keepsake. I can’t express how much this means to Alex’s dad and I.

Big thank you to Mandy for making Morgan & Molly’s memory bears, they love them. Pip Grandma would love these, absolutely lovely, beautiful memories. Xxx
Bow Tie Memory Cushion

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the memory cushion you made for Mum from dad’s bow ties, she was so surprised and we were all very emotional when I gave it to her, at the weekend, she absolutely loves it and immediately started to recognise particular ties which was lovely to see. She has put the cushion on the chair dad used to sit on when they watched television so it’s a lovely reminder every time she sits in there.
The star cushions were a big hit, both my brother and husband loved them especially as you had incorporated the cufflinks which was another big part of dad. My brother wants to put his on top of his Christmas tree, which I feel is a wonderful idea. As I am writing this to you I am wearing the scrunchie which I love and my brother pointed out that one of the ties had forget-me-nots on which is the flower of dementia, so very poignant.
Once again many thanks for this wonderful journey so far, for all the love you have put into creating such an amazing memory for us all to treasure.
I have spoken to the family about a memory bear for our granddaughter and they all think that would be a lovely idea, so I look forward to continuing our journey.
Best wishes

Dear Mandy
These two beautiful bears now live in South Africa. When we arrived in south Africa , we rented a villa so the kids could come and stay with us. So, before they arrived, we place the bears on their beds. When the kids arrived. There were some tears, but they were so happy with them, it’s a part of their dad that will be with them forever. Once again thank you for making this possible in such short time
