Got most of mum’s room packed away. All her clothes are going to the vets, various things we divided up. Mum’s costume jewelry we’ll let everyone pick what they want, then give the rest to my daughter to make art with. Along with 4 bags of my clothes we had about 12 bags for the veterans. Found my dads WW2 metals. Told my sister her husband should have them because he actively served. It will mean something to him. But boy it’s hard going though stuff. I took one of mum’s scarves that she wore so well.
