Take a Word - Family Album

So many stories in family albums.  Here we were, with our married life before us.  Twenty-two years and two children later,  he died in September of 1979, and I was a widow at 45.   Memories are gossamer things that waft through our thoughts at unexpected times, and loved ones long gone return to visit in our dreams.    Thank you for visiting this page in my album.

    A beautiful example and loved hearing your history. So sad that you were a widow so young. I can imagine that your art has made your life joyful.

    This brought a tear to my eye, Bev. Your black and white pictures are so touching and beautiful. You are quite the stunner! It's sad to see the joy on your wedding day and then know that you were not going to grow old together. Great memories. I love this piece.
