My friend Milly, passed away in the early morning of January 29, 2010, after a short illness. She was a multi-talented artist who worked in oil, watercolor, pastels and made three dimensional collages. She also painted rocks just for fun. She was a pint size lady with a giant talent.

Painted rocks - some of the last pieces she created.
Milly and I next to one of her collages. This was taken at the reception of the 50th Anniversary Exhibition of the Long Island Craft Guild of which we were both members. The show was at the B. J. Spoke Gallery in Huntington, NY.
She was 91 when she left us..

Sorry for the loss of your friend. It's good to know she was still creating art at 91!
Looks like she loved her life. A wise man once said that you have to love life to love death.
So sorry for your loss - what a creative artist!
Such a beautiful tribute to my mom. Thank you from the bottom of of my heart.
