Valentine Strong

Today is Bobbie’s service.

This is a little sketch I did for her, of a phrase the family repeated and followed. “Valentine Strong” was represented by the dedication and love my nieces showed their mom through her struggles and illness.

By Bobbie’s husband, Doug, taking such loving care of her through his own battle with dementia.

And the phrase shone bright in Bobbie’s eyes as she was determined to appreciate her last weeks and all of the people she loved.

My sister was brave, strong, and never complained. I was so proud of her and her entire family.  I cherish the time I had with all of them at this turning point in our lives.
