I am sure you have a plethora of memories with your friend. Hang in there. You have done a great job immortalizing him though your art. :-)

Dear Jacki,

This is truly a lovely post. And we all recognize the beautiful girl on one of the 13 photos. Take care of yourself. You mean as much to some of us, as Mark does to you.

Aww, thanks so much Carol, yes there are so many wonderful memories of this truly great man from over 45 years. Trips, picnics, parties, training, a part of my family. Thank you for your extra kind words.

So sorry for your loss, Jacki. Carol expressed in wonderful words what I never would have been able to say.
I only can say too, please take care of yourself, you mean a lot to me.

Thanks, Elenor. We had a large zoom memorial this evening with 180+ people participating, including the family. It was a wonderfully cathartic event. People shared stories and memories that brought both tears and laughter. It wonderful to see so many. The pandemic has made people resourceful. I go to bed this evening feeling some of the weight of the loss, lifted, Thank you for your concern.
