BOA BABES

Good morning. This picture I post today is a watercolor I did of my friends, Pat, Wanda, Ruth and me who would go to New York City once a year to get away. We would see some shows, shop in Chinatown and be raucous and silly for 3 days away from home and husbands. Wanda was the instigator of this annual retreat. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Wanda passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. She was brave to the end. She was a quiet person with an ironic sense of humor. She was a dedicated employee wherever she worked and was trustworthy beyond the norm. She was a gardener, a cook, a collector of antiques, a compassionate and loyal friend. She was humble. She wouldn't necessarily like it that I am posting this today but she would understand why I needed to do it because she understood me. She will be missed by her husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, mother and many more family members. Her friends too will miss her. I knew her 33 years and can't imagine how my life would have been without her. May she rest in peace. May all of you be blessed with such a friend. Give 'em a call.
