Cherished Objects

While organizing my late mother-in-law's estate, I decided to take photos of several objects that had been owned by her and other members of the family. Each one contains memories such as kitchen utensils that had been used by her mother in Mt. Victory, Ohio or a painted coconut that had been mailed from the New Hebrides by her fiance during World War II or a footstool that had been used for many years at their home in Southgate, Michigan. Some of these objects have been claimed by one family member or another but most of them have been donated to charity.
