To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Not sure what this is all about...I sense levity, so I imagine it's an "Inside joke"? Like this image, give us a feel for the source of your brilliant avatar! Hope to have this mystery unravel soon...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!This is great!You are too funny! It seems no one understands ,so I'll explain. I told Mina,that when I go to the 'great beyond',I told my husband I want to be buried with those funny glasses on with the fake mustache...because no one can ever do my makeup the way I do,lol. Mina's reply? "...I'm having "I'd rather be breathing" or "I'm with stupid" and an arrow pointing to the next tombstone on my grave." LOL.Just a bit of black humor from both of us,who would rather have people get a 'last laugh' from us,than feel all sad and gloomy. Thanks Mina.You cracked me up and made my day!Hugs!-M :^D

I laughed, I cried, I danced a jig, and I sighed. Don't know what's goin' on here but it did tickle the funniest of my bones. LOL ... cool one Mina. I'll give this 'un "two toes up." ***** OK ... jus' read the previous comment and see what this is all about. Now it's even funnier.

Excellent, if you can't jest at Death you spend too much time worrying about it. I always say I want the Doors song " When the Musics Over Turn Out the Lights" Blareing from my Headstone. & Peace Mina
