At work we had a Dia de los Muertos Altar Competition. The departments had to choose a Thunderbird legend to dedicate it to. We did our altar for professor Karen Brown, who was a faculty member who passed away from cancer in 2016. She was one strong woman - hiking the Grand Canyon even when she was going through chemo! I didn't know Karen, but her husband (who came to the event) spent the evening telling me all about her.
As it turns out, one other department did an altar for Karen. Their's was beautiful, too, but ours was the only one that was beautifully personal.
It was a great experience - and we won the competition. :)
