[QUOTE="cadydid, post: 237107, member: 6608"] I mentioned this post to mother in law when I talked to her on the phone earlier and she told me what I think is a great idea. Her mother, when it was discovered that she had terminal cancer, went to the store and purchased packages of multi colored sticky dots (like the ones you see at garage sales). She went through the house and on all of the furniture, other large items, and collectibles, she placed a color dot representing who she wanted the item to go to, and then wrote down who was what color and put the list in her jewelry box. Only problem is she did not tell anyone that she had done this. So when she passed away, when they went to the house, they see all these colored dots, sometimes one sometimes 2 or even three on things and had no idea what it meant until they looked in jewelry box and found the list of colors vs, names. There she had put a color dot on the paper and wrote a name next to it. And it all made sense.. single dots were for her kids, double dots were for grand kids, and triple dots for rgeat grand kids. I think it is a great idea.. thinking about doing it in our house.. I know it would have helped a ton if my mom had done it. [/QUOTE]
