My friend May Lattanzio is at it again. She sent a link to ths video to me. She knows I'm from Utah but she had no way of knowing how many connections this video touched on for me. The artist is so like my Aunt Hazel (also childless), recently deceased. The crowing rooster so like the ones that woke me on my grandma's farm in Hollday, Utah, when I was a child. And the soldiers so like my grandson, now home safely.

Art lives. Your words live Carolyn. Evry brush stroke she makes is a pulse of life. This lady's soul is in every painting she does. The people she touches with her art see the faces of those they loved and lost in a way that keep them with them spiritually.
Talk about wrenching to watch...what a woman! What a giver!
