Most everyone already knows that Lois passed away yesterday.
People better qualified than I have said and will continue to say things about Lois in ways that I cannot.
I told Scott yesterday that even though she was what the world might see as "old," to me, she was immortal. Which makes her sudden passing, shocking.
My first piece with her was when I was in my 20's; my last...in my 40's. I did some of my best work with her....and we also struggled together as artists.....because she was such a pro, we worked through those struggles together.
Because of Lois, I know that being old....is really a choice.
A choice she never made.
I can only hope I can do 1/10 of the things she was doing as my life continues to march on.
And I know without a doubt, that I am a better artist~mother~woman because I was blessed enough to cross paths with her spirit in this life.
Journey on dear Lois and do it exactly as you want.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad you've taken the things you respected about her and learned from it. I bet that'll make her smile down on you from heaven.
