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 a happy picture. Obviously you are having post traumatic problems at the lost of your computer. Lay down on the couch and tell me, how does this make you feel. Now, be honest, remember its for posterity. Okay, so I blatantly ripped that last bit off from the movie, Princess Bride, but it is a such a great line. Hope you get back up and running soon again (er and can think happy picture thoughts) :O)

LOL at shadownet! Love the Princess Bride. Okay - now where were we? Oh yes. You always put together the coolest stuff! This has a great romantic/dramatic mood. Nice work!

OH, that is indeed beautiful, though so sad and tragic. Is it the PC going down, that makes you in that mood, Mina ? Then I would understand, because I would feel just as "Down" as my pc, if it was happening to me. I done dare thinking of it. :-/ I certainly hope your PC will be fine again very soon. :))) HUGZ!

I am having a hard time with this one as I keep thinking about the women that are killed and left, dumped on the road side. Sorry, about those feelings, but I just cannot understand someone killing or hurting anyone. Thank you for sharing. egmont
