We had portraits done at Ames & Brownley of my wife's mother and father, my mother and father, my children and a family portrait that she tinted and we look at daily to remind us of those who have passed. We cherish her work daily. Thanks for sharing her talents with us. May her family find comfort from the Lord. God bless.
