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.

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.

Wonderful and beautiful tribute, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!! Can not stand to watch cruelty to animals!!!!!!!!! Have rescued several from neighbors, not so much as on purpose abuse but to ignorance of people about animals and their treatment. And the old problem, well it is not a puppy or kitten anymore.

People should be ashamed of themselves if they hurt any animal on this planet. After all we are all unique its not like we can go to the next planet and find more. Great work Mina :)

All I had to do was see that title and I thought of the commercial that brings me to tears every time I see it (and get choked up if I even just hear it). A beautiful, loving tribute to a departed friend. My deepest sympathies to you and your daughter for the loss of her companion. They will be reunited when they meet at Rainbow's end.

Is this a recent passing, Mina? I'm so sorry for your loss in either case. Your daughter is gorgeous and looks just like you. What a soothing and hopeful image this is. I love that adoring look on your dog's face. As you know animal rescue is one of my causes in life, too. There are many heroes out there who sacrifice a large part of their lives rescuing the animals who are mistreated or abandoned by others. I admire anyone who can save just one of these wonderful souls. Here in the US, Petfinder.com is another great resource if anyone ever wants to adopt as one can find local foster groups who rescue and foster, then place animals in proper homes. That's how I adoped all of mine and would do it again if I had more room. Lovely work, Mina. And I appreciate that you are getting this important message out. : )

Very Special Mina, Heart felt

The (méchancetée) human one rather often deplores me. You know one would not have to make them a small pain with these people who afflict these anomalous with the Ben kinds not it would be although too much grâve. I was to see the video one: Sadnesses, désarois abominable infringements for these animals without défences I would like to make them the same thing and worse. But I do not have passion for to lower me to similar insignificances towards these nullities I pay an special attention in large the hearts of some to compensate (pauvretées)and nulities of his dictators. ((5++)) La méchancetée humaine me déplore assez souvent. Tu sais il ne faudrait pas leur faire un petit bobo à ces personnes qui affligent ces annimaux de la sortes Ben non ce serais bien que trop grâve . J'ai été voir la video: Tristesses ,désarois infractions abominables pour ces animaux sans défences J'aimerais leur faire la même chose et pire . Mais je n'ai pas la passion pour m'abaisser à pareilles insignifiances envers ces nulités Je porte une attention particulière aux grand coeurs de certains pour compenser les pauvretées et nulitée de ses dictateurs . ((5++))
