Traces Of Love

Customized Postage Stamps: In planning a special event to honor their children, such as a memorial service, butterfly or balloon release, some parents mail formal invitations to their family and friends. If you decide to do this, consider placing customized postage stamps on each envelope bearing an actual photograph of your child. It can be a wonderful keepsake for everyone who receives an invitation. There are a number of commercial organizations that provide this service, including www.photostamps.com.
