[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you can do something. A neighbor of mine died and his son came later with a couple men and a dump truck. I know he kept some things but it was sad because of some of the things I saw being thrown away. One was an ornate family Bible with names and dates going back 100 years in the inside front pages. I pulled it out and took it home, then decided that was irrational and put it back.  [/quote]

Your post makes me so sad. It also reminds me of an estate sale in Ponte Vedra where a framed case of the deceased owner's swimming medals from a highly regarded university--at least 50 medals and more than a few were from MAJOR swimming events dating back to 1930's-- were on sale for $25. Just out there with the kitchen and living room stuff...can't believe that no one in the family wanted them.[/quote]

I’ve seen OLD family photo albums and family bibles for sale in antique stores. Always kind of sad. [/quote]

PP here. I feel the same. In our family, we don't save everything do keep family Bibles, photographs, and quite a few letters. They're meaningful to all of us. If one of us doesn't want something, we offer it to the others. [/quote]
