CALIFORNIA COAST (saying goodbye to a dear friend)
by on 11/10/2009 9:33:12 AM

It's rough when a friend your own age dies. Barbara was a friend for over 25 years. She was the most giving individual. Because of recent losses, I could not bring myself to attend the funeral. Instead, I painted this in her memory. The bright light in the background reminded me of a place where Barbara is today. I know she is with her Lord, Jesus. She is with her son, her husband, and her mother. Such a sad thing to lose a gift like she was. She was a nurse, EMT specialist, fostered over 50 children, made quilts, gave and gave and gave of herself, her time, and her love to so many, many people. Goodbye, dear Barbara

	Sorry for yet another loss. I'm sure your friend would've felt very honored with this lovely painting as a tribute to her and her life.

	Thanks, Marsha, dear friend. Such tough times we all are having right now. You turn around and then there's another one!

	Donna- I think Barbara would have enjoyed this work as much as I do. This is so wonderful, it convey's the scene so delightfully. I am honored that you choose one of my pics to paint. Many Thanks and blessings

	I am sorry to hear of your loss. Fr Asabi from Mercy Hospital/Hospice of Springfield said of a friends dying at 49, "I am asked how someone so young can die. My answer[paraphrase] is Jesus died young. Why? Because his job was done. So too is Barbara's. Thank God she was here to do her job. Love you. Kat

	What a lovely painting to honor your friend! As a believer, the day of our "crossing over" will not be a day of darkness and fear, but one full of light and peace. You captured that point very well in this memorial to Barbara.
