Hey there, I have so many people wanting to share pics, memories,and other ways to remember Dee Bracebridge McCullough, and I'm rather digitally …inept? I have asked Scott Cannon to spearhead collecting things in a montage, or mosaic, with pics, quips and stuff ..?? I'm not even sure what I'm looking/asking for, but, kind of a visual memoir for her, I guess? If you have pics/memories etc, or can help arrange, layout, etc, PLEASE go through Scott, first, so we can do this right, to do her justice, b/c, I know if left to me, it will never come together. Again, Thank You all, for your love and hugs 'n' prayers. we're hanging in here.
We've got you covered, Steve!
Scott and I have plans to put together a slideshow or online gallery for the things that people share. We also are looking at ways to get them bound into a book (or several books) so that Steve and the kids have a physical memory book to pull out when they need a little sunshine from Dee.
"How can we help, Jenn and Scott?"
I'm so glad you asked!
Most importantly - get your thoughts, stories, songs, pictures, videos, scribbles, poems ready to share. It can be something that you've created - or something that is important to you. Or a letter to Steve and the kids. Or anything else that you'd like to include!
Then you will send them to us! We'll figure out how to make it look pretty for the slideshow and book that we're planning, if that's not your forte. (Scott is an artist and I am a photographer, among other things.) And if it's video or audio, we have that covered in our plans as well. You send us what you'd like - we'll make it work.
Logistics:
Written items - Feel free to email them directly to Scott or myself. You can post them here as comments if you'd like.
Images or Video/Audio files - Please email these to Scott's Dropbox account
**Note: This will automatically upload them to our online storage, to preserve the quality of what you send.
Imagine that you're writing in a guest book or signing a yearbook. Tell the rest of us the funny stories and sweet memories you have. Sing a song. Bake a cake. Simply say "I love you".
Scott & Jenn,
ReplyDeleteThanks for creating and organizing this blog so quickly. Your instructions for sending an email is easy. So I'm going to try sending this note via the blog's Post-a-Comment. (My first attempt was unsuccessful, I think. When I went to "publish" (release) my Comment, I got transferred to my Google account. I use LastPass, so I got automatically logged in - to the blog, I think. Apparently, a 'Comment' can be posted in a variety of ways, according to the below "drop box", there are 8 choices. I suggest a slight modification to the instructions for the 'older generation' as to what mode the Comment should be transmitted to you. (Let's see if I feel lucky today.)

"Munchkins" was one of Dee's favorite nicknames for her children.
I'm heading for the Publish "button".
I guess I'm "registered" and this is my 2nd 'publication.'
ReplyDeleteIf I can do it, YOU can do it !!!
Thanks again for everyone's support.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Dee is her support for my oldest son. He has been trying to get into the U.S. Naval Academy for 3 years now. As a navy wife she was one of his biggest cheer leaders in his work. She always had an encouraging word and told me how much being a navy wife meant to her. I always knew of all my friends, she would be one of the ones cheering the loudest if he were to get accepted. To be that interested and encouraging about the aspirations of a kid you never met is one of the many things that made her special. She will be missed by me a great deal. I'll save a discussion about puns for a later date.

As a 'little sister' in young women I was assigned to watch over see that she was included. Instead I was the recipient kind, thoughtful, generous gifts, encouragement, smiles, and the best hugs. She made me feel like the little I did was enough and even made a difference. She was always gentle and fun-loving. But most of all I always felt remembered, I hope to reciprocate and always remember her. My love to all those she loved.
