The watercolor painting above……..the beautiful covered bridge in the heart of the Mohican State Park in this great state of Ohio….. is a special piece I did to raffle off as a part of the Alzheimer’s Association fundraiser “The Longest Day”, in honor of my dear mother, Joycelyn Miller.  She passed away a year and a half ago after suffering terribly the last 7 years of her beautiful life with dementia.   I can’t begin to describe how devastating and heartbreaking it is to watch someone so kind, loving and selfless suffer so tragically for 7 long years. I can’t begin to tell you how painful it is to have the woman who was ALWAYS there for me and my family….through thick and thin……who took her only day off work each week for 8 months to go with me to my chemotherapy treatments…….the woman who would walk through fire for me and my sister…………look me in the eyes and not have a clue who I was.  There aren’t enough words to describe that kind of pain. No one should have to witness or endure such agony. We MUST find a cure for this beast of a disease!

Please consider donating, through the link above, to this most worthy of causes.  For each $5.00 you donate, a ticket will go into the jar for a chance at the painting above. So, for example, if you donate $10, you will have 2 tickets/chances, if you donate $100, you will have 20 tickets/chances in the jar. Then on June 20th……the “longest day”…. we will pull the winning ticket and I will send the painting to the lucky winner.  All donations go directly to the Alzheimer’s Association.  Thank you so very much for any amount you care to donate.
