Sharon's HonorI know how many of you are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a painting I have done in honor of my cousin Sharon, who fought the disease valiantly for several years. I miss her very much as she and another cousin Judy were and are my mentors.
In the Kansas City area please donate to the Back in the Swing organization. They fund programs to assist those with breast cancer, several organizations and hospitals, including Cancer Action. It is a wonderful center for anyone needing help both in ways both physical and spiritual.

Karena- I know you must miss her terribly, but what a wonderful tribute to your cousin. I know this terrible disease has affected so many women and so many families.
Jennifer, thank you so much for your kind comment and efforts for the cure.
This is a beautiful painting, and I am sure it is so meaningful to you because of the memories and the love you have for Sharon.
You have inspired me so much, thank you for reading my blog and the special comments you make...we have a group of very caring women!
I am positive that your cousin would love this, that you are painting this in her memory.
Thank you Patricia, so much!
As another whose family has been affected by breast cancer, I want to thank you for reminding people of the importance of the fight for a cure. We must not give up until the fight is won.
