Celebrating a Life...

I'm sorry I do not have a Paris post today... unfortunately, I had to attend the funeral of our dear French friend Nilia's long-time companion, Antonio. In this beautiful church in Venice, California... many came to pay their respects and listen to a wonderful mass... it was very enlightening... sad...After the service we gathered in this lovely room looking over Marina Del Rey...

Celebrating the life of this wonderful man... Antonio De La Cruz... a man who brought great happiness and joy to his family, friends, colleagues, students and many patients. He will truly be missed...
My thoughts go out to everyone who was touched by Dr. Antonio De La Cruz... you can read more about Antonio HERE.

Tomorrow I will return with Outdoor PARIS paintings... see you then... ENJOY your day!

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to lymphoma so I know what a horrible disease that is. Dr. De La Cruz will be in my thoughts.
