Wow, I can't believe 13 years has gone by since the passing of my old friend Ursula. I remember her smile, her warmth and joy she brought to everyone and everywhere she went. I still can't accept that she's gone. I had cancer the last time I saw her and am now in remission. God be with you my good old pal. I will never ever forget you! I hope Ron that you have found happiness again without her.
May her love and light continue to burn so ever bright from the stars above!

Dear Ron and other grieving friends and family ~ What a terrible shock to read of Ursula's passing. I had no idea she was ill. As my first oil painting teacher, she won a special place in my heart. I never open my paints without thinking of her gentle, clear guidance and love for the medium. I'm so very sorry to lose her, and for your painful loss of her gracious presence in your everyday lives.
