Yesterday was or would have been my mother’s birthday. Annalisa and VA settled on my mother’s final resting place, she will be on the grounds of San Xavier Mission which she loved. The mission was built in the 1600′s and is also called, “The White Dove of the Desert”.
Everyone in my family is connected to this mission. We spent many hours there when we were growing up, playing outside while my mother painted the mission or and/or the surrounding area.

My mother’s ashes will also be kept outside (double Aquarius, airy) in a covered shrine (as pictured). I can’t tell you how ideal this is and how grateful I am that Annalisa and VA were able to pull this off. As an 8th house person, it’s very important to me how a person’s affairs are handled after their death. To be laid here for eternity would be beyond my mother’s wildest and happiest dream.
Henry was also left exactly where he said wanted to be and I am deeply proud of this as well.
That’s it. I am out of words, except for these two: THANK YOU.

The picture is very powerful yet peaceful. I am so glad for all of you …
I had the good luck to visit this site on a vacation to Tucson. This is a place of profound historical importance. A wonderful location for sanctification…
Oh my that place is just stunningly beautiful. What a wonderful birthday gift for your mother! May she rest in peace. I hope that this will make a very difficult time for all of your family a little bit easier to bear, with beauty and peace at the end of it. xo

Thanks for sharing Elsa. While all her life’s details are unknown to me, your report piques my curiosity. But more
than this, I feel so much love in this story. May your peace increase evermore.
An additional thought…if this is the Arizona mission, it’s truly awe inspiring. Visited there many years ago and was so moved by the artistry which had an underlying folk sensibility – fitting for a place of worship. And now I know of a woman contributor to that space.
Everything in this post is beyond beautiful. Thank your for sharing this family moment. I’ve shed a tear for you all and for your mother, may she rest in peace in such a magical place
Well done Elsa, Annalisa and VA..
Peace be with you all

WOW! That is such a beautiful place & your Mother is outside? How Perfect!!! I imagine it would not have been at all easy to accomplish this, but any trial is obviously worth it.

Pictures don’t usually convey the beauty of a place, but those pictures emanate beauty, peace and love. God Bless.
Yesterday I read your post, P, and really couldn’t find words to describe the beauty and aptness of your mother’s resting place.
Living in a very tiny village, this afternoon I walked past the town gallery and saw a poster for an upcoming show by an artist named Vivian Chamberlin -

I guess it really struck a chord. I am happy for you and your family.
