I painted this for my grandma for her 90th birthday last year in May. The large piece of poetry is hers in her hand writing, the smaller mine ... a continuation. I feel this is the best piece of artwork that I've ever created. There was a big celebration and a lot of her friends and most all of the family made it there to celebrate with her. It was so wonderful getting to see her again.
I'm posting this because sadly she passed away last night. Things had gotten hard on her over the past several months and these last weeks were really bad. She is at peace now and no longer in pain. She was one of the most loving and giving people I've ever known and I never heard her say an unkind word to anyone. She was involved in many things, a member of the Red Hat Society, every ladies group in the church she could manage and up until a couple years ago even aerobics! She worked hard all her life and brought many many smiles to those around her. She had a great talent for writing and I am hoping to be able to get to read some of that soon!
She will be missed greatly by a great many people who all loved her so very dearly.
I love you Grandma!
