Gratitude

I wanted to create a page where I could say thank you to the angels here on earth who have helped me to get my story and legacy created here on this website.

I want to say thank you from the top and bottom of my heart for the work that you did, Tara, to capture the love that Norm and I have for each other.  You do such beautiful work and in such a loving, caring way.  When I look at these amazing pictures of us, I am filled with deep and abiding gratitude for your ability to draw out and capture the true essence of who we are.  Blessings to you!

Zita Gustin

" Thank you for all that you have done and are doing!  You are more than just my friend or like a daughter ....
You are my Angel!!!"
                      ~Barbara Jack

Our friendship, dear Zita, goes back nearly 25 years to the early days of Dorling Kindersley Books!  I am blessed to know you.  I have always had a dream to create a legacy of my writing and stories so that when I am gone, my family will have a living

document to remember me by.  You took up the challenge beautifully by creating this site for me.  I so appreciate you and all the love you have put into this.  Thank you!

" My first born, my joy from the day of your birth, my personal Pen and Ink artist.  You add extra power to every
joint project!"

Jay, you were still in Redmond Junior High when you started drawing pencil drawings for my poetry cards.  At 17, you made the drawing of the buffalo, your first pen and ink drawing.  From then on, you were anxious to draw for all of my cards.   Even now as a busy electrical engineer, you always tell me you will find the time to work on a card if I need you.  I treasure this special connection that we have and am so proud of your work and the outstanding man that you are.  Like the lines in the book I sent you many years ago says:

 I'll love you forever,
I'll love for always,
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be
                    ~Mom

Additional Thanks ... Because It Takes A Village!

My sincere gratitude to these additional angels who contributed funding to
help make this website and the videos here possible.

Thank you so very much for your support!
