Recently I had the sad responsibility of attending the memorial service of my good friend Matt. A couple of years ago his bride, Lil, asked me to create an illustration for him as a Christmas gift. Matt, a proud Italian, loved the accordion and polka music, a love he took up in his later years. Matt was a good guy, that loved to laugh, and loved life.
While I was creating the drawing of Matt for Lil, her daughters contacted me about doing an illustration of their mother. With a great number of fruit trees on their property they said that their mother enjoyed the frequent visits of the deer on their property, along with a number of cats
So that Christmas both Matt and Lil we're surprized to open a gift created by me.
Rest in peace Matt. We'll see you on the other side.

Love the little kitty around her feet. Both are fantastic.
Yup, you'll be seeing your pal again. How great is that!
I'm sorry for your loss of your friend. I love the illustrations. They look like a sweet but fun couple. I bet she treasures those now. Didn't know you Matt. Look forward to meeting you on the other side : )
