I started this drawing after Grandma had her stroke. I spent a lot of time visiting her in the hospital and at rehab, and colored pencils are mighty fine for travel art.

My grandmother, Marthena Mae (Funk) Vass, died yesterday (September 16, 2016) morning.
Grandma moved to my house on August 25. She has three sons, but none of them could take care of her. My dad's wife just died. Max has lung and rib cancer. Lon has esophageal cancer. I don't think Grandma wanted to live with me, but she didn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers and she knew that Lon couldn't take care of her. So, Grandma came to stay with us.

My mother died this June. I spent 11 days in California with my dad, nine of them before she died. This is the obit my dad wrote. He's going to see if he can have it run in his local paper as an epilogue to his column, which he retired from three months ago.

The background is colored pencil and I kind of like it. I like the wood too, but I don't like the leaves this time.

Sting is a Guide Dog Puppy. Bonnie and Emily were raising him. Bonnie isn't able to finish, so I'm going to help Emily out. He's a good boy. Emily took the reference photo, and I took the lousy picture of the drawing.
