While growing up this couple lived next to us. They were a second set of parents to us. The family remains close to us in our hearts. What you see captured here is only a small fraction of the love between this couple, what kindness they passed to their children, and the love they have for life.

The subjects are my Aunt and Uncle. You are right in your description. They have always been my role models. Thank you so much for this priceless work of Art.

Thank you so much. That’s our mom and dad. Not as well now as when the picture you used was taken, but it sure makes all of us feel so good when we see your talented depiction. Thanks again
