#5 Memorial ideas..

If you have been following my posts for a while now, then you may of seen my post of the passing of a really good friend of mine. Here's where I need some advice/ideas... OUR BIRTHDAY'S are 7 days apart, mine is this coming Wednesday 11th & her's is/was 18th.. I don't feel like celebrating my day, but my family will get together for a meal it's mandatory. However; I really want to do something in her memory on her day.. Our mutual friends suggested balloon releases, but here's where it gets tricky, I know balloon releases cause harm to the environment & animals. My friend was a big animal lover, I want an alternative. I suggested flowers into a river near where we all went college together 10 years ago.

Anyone else have any other suggestions? Time is ticking ..
