Deb,  
Mom always had the way of love we all could feel and sense deep in our souls. Clearly you were able to tap into this in your journey of creating Mom's portrait. You have perfectly captured the beauty of her eyes, softness of her hair and the essence of her soul beaming through the smile we all knew.  If the angels have her spirit, and the earth her body, we are grateful for this image you have lovingly formed to remind us daily that she loved us. Thank you for sending her home to us.
