Angelique has posted on Renee's blog with the stage of
illness her mother is now in. I am very saddened to say she
is not doing well.
I felt even more heartache when I saw that Angelique had
posted about Renee and her special relationship with her
granddaughter Josephine.
Renee asked me to create an advance birthday gift for Josephine
not long ago. I will be sending it out to Angelique soon. I know
Renee would want her Josephine to receive her gift. A hand-stitched
banner that she wanted to hang in Josephine's new bedroom.
My heart goes out to Angelique and her family. You are an angel, Renee.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for always being an inspiration to us all!
It is very sad indeed. So much suffering. I've lost many friends to cancer.
ReplyDeleteThe banner is beautiful. Your stitching is impeccable.
Dear Lisa, his is all so sad.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Josephine will love her banner. It is wonderful.
Have a good week

Lisa what a beautiful banner you created for Josephine! I can see all the lovely detail you put into it. The last update was so sad, I was hoping she would be with us for many many years. I only hope she is pain free right now.

ReplyDeleteThe painting is just lovely...and sad; the sepia tones make it feel full of memories and reflection. The banner is beautiful...magickal and sweet.A perfect gift for Renees' grandaughter.
What a moving post. And what a beautiful item that you have created for Josephine. The painting is such a lovely tribute; you did a wonderful job. I am sorry to hear of Renee's illness. But she seems to be a woman of tremendous strength and courage.

Renee would love your painting Lisa...just love it...and the banner...I can see the love in every stitch...how hard it must have been for you to sew this and think about this little one who may not get to spend more time with her precious grandmother...

That is darling! I just recently found Renee's blog and my life is different because of her. I'm glad that you were able to touch her family.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is perfect Lisa and the banner is wonderful. A bright spot amidst so much sadness for Renee and her family. I'll be glad when God takes action and ends suffering and death as promised (Rev 21:3&4) Untill then we can keep on supporting one another.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa! I love the painting you made to honor Renee and her Josephine. Very touching story. They will be in my thoughts - Renee, Josephine, and Angelique.
ReplyDeleteP.S. My blog has moved! My new location is http://www.gaalcreative.com!
Oh Lisa...this is too sad. I'm so bad with words when it comes to such sadness. Renee and her family are in my thoughts and they'll stay in my prayers also.
ReplyDeleteYour painting for Renee is beautiful as is your perfectly stitched banner for her little Josephine.
I always tell you this Lisa, I think you're an angel, and you have a heart of gold.
Sending you a big hug, Sweetie.
