Thumbies keepsakesmark key moments

throughout life.

Touch…the first sense we learn and the last to leave us.

In the lifetime between we experience much of theworld through touch: the guiding hands of a parent, thetrusted grip of a friend, the warm caress of a loved one, thecompassionate soothing of a caregiver. We remember thephysical connections when time and distance, even death,separate us from the people we love.

Since 1998 Meadow Hill Corporation has been helping peoplecapture and preserve the touch of their family members andfriends at all ages and stages of the life cycle. From two-dimensional ink prints that you or a service provider takes, wecreate keepsakes using the time-honored process of lost waxcasting. The resulting Thumbie® is three-dimensional, invitingyou to touch and feel the ridges of the print of your loved one.The backside is finished with personalized engraving thatfurther echoes the connections you share.

Creating Keepsakes

We create keepsakes of the people and the times we want toremember. We gather them for ourselves. Some we discardas the dust gathers; others we save to pass on to our childrenand our grandchildren.

Thumbies Footprints and HandprintsThere are few things as irresistible as keepsakes that capturethe tiny footprints or handprints of our children.

Strong, Clear Prints of YouthThe fingerprints of young people are clear, the ridges welldefined. With milestones, such as graduations and weddings,Thumbies help families deal with their leaving the nest.

Life-Lines Crossing Adult PrintsAdult prints are criss-crossed with life lines and marked bythe scars of daily life. These clearly distinguish their printsand Thumbies remind us of all they have done for us.

Prints of the Elderly and the DeceasedAs people near the end of life, the ridges of their prints growfainter and the life-lines more pronounced. We imagine theirkeepsakes telling stories of their lives. We honor them.

Nationwide, Meadow Hill works with funeral homes that canassist you in taking a final print of your loved one and inplacing your order. Those taking prints of people at otherstages of life, can visit Meadow Hill’s website atwww.meadowhillco.com.
