MENTOR, Ohio — The death of a loved one or close friend naturally brings tremendous sadness and pain. A Mentor, Ohio, woman is now helping people find comfort in their loss through handmade “memory items."
She turned her loss into love and channeled her energy into helping preserve memories of those we love most. Stitched on her home sewing machine, Higgins makes sure each memory item is personalized each person. Higgins transforms old clothing and mementos of those who have passed on into tangible keepsakes. It's a reminder of that person, but in the form of something precious that someone can look at, hold and forever find joy in.
“COVID — we couldn’t go anywhere. So, I was watching videos on how to sew, and she'd watch me. And she'd kinda laugh along as I messed things up," Higgins said.
