This painting was done in 2004 shortly after the passing of my wife, Kay. Roses were her favorite flower. Roses were also the favorite flower of my mother.
So I post this in memory of the two great greatest people who have ever resided in my heart.
The video is for all the Moms who have gone on.
I have re posted this video from Celeste Bergin's fine blog.
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away
