I never met Leota. Over the years, I’d heard nothing but glowing stories about her. She was a dedicated mother and foster mom who loved her family. When she passed, I wanted to do this watercolor sketch of her.
So many people reached out to me when I lost Ryan, and it meant the world to me. Every single comment, gift, call, or prayer filled my heart. I want to be a better friend to others when they feel a loss.
