Aunt Jerry

5 x 7
oil on Ampersand Panel
As I worked on this, I kept trying to imagine what I could say to describe my Aunt Jerry and found I couldn't adequately edit a fitting description down to a few sentences. Those of us that knew her and loved her know the amazing person she was, so I'll leave with the following. She lived long enough so that she forever etched her great love, faith, and optimism in her precious face.  We all miss her dearly.

    1. Thank you Cathy - she was one of the greatest influences in my life. She always looked at the bright side no matter what life dealt her.
