Here are some portraits we found recently of my parents.  Like many families, they had us all drawn in pastel, but we had never seen their portraits before.  My mom passed away last night…and she is now with my dad, as it should be.  They were married for 65 years.  They used their time, resources, and talents well.  Many are the recipients of their kindness and love.  Their lives will be a continuing conversation as to the impact they had all on their path.   Thoreau said it best….To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.  

They both showed us how to do that!
