I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of your mom. She drew the most beautiful picture of my beloved Buddy back in 2001. I tried to get in touch with her a few years back with the number I had on her business card, but the number was no longer in service. I wanted so bad to get in touch to just let her know after all these years how much that picture is still one of my most treasured things I have. She had such an amazing talent! I’ve carried her business card in my wallet all these years and was just going through my purse again to clean it out and thought I’m going to try and track her down one more time just by name. You can imagine how sad I was to see she passed and that I missed her by only two months. I did not realize she was that old, I just pictured her as the way I saw her last. She sure did not act her age. God bless you all and my heart goes out to you during this sad time.
