She was not a copy of anyone else on earth. She was an original who shared with us her many special gifts. She created beauty with the stroke of a paintbrush and her many other artistic talents. She was an inspiration to all. She loved life, and lived it to the fullest even though she was physically challenged. She leaves us with a treasure of happy memories.
