Please have your photos digitalized and safely stored. The memories can be shared and treasured by many generations to come. The loss is gut wrenching.
Thanks Red - I think you perfectly described why we cherish all those boxes of photos we all seem to have. Furniture, books, jewelry can all somehow be replaced, but not that precious picture of someone you love. I throw just about everything away but have kept not only my photos, but the ones I have from my mom. Buy a couple of good sized Rubbermaid type containers and store them in a closet. Easy for me to say 'cause I have lots of room 'cause I don't hold onto much else!
