Description
Artist Statement
When we come into this world we are with loved ones, bright lights, tears of joy. And when we leave this world, ideally we will be surrounded by loved ones, dimmed lights and yes, more tears. But the pandemic changed that.
Maybe some last words were spoken on a phone and maybe a nurse was there to hold their hand. People died without their loved ones. We will remember them. They were more than a statistic, they were family and friends.
We will visit them at the graveside and keep them in our hearts always.
