Sometimes my artwork is influenced by my mother's Lumbee Tribe culture. 

         

 

      

 

 

At last count, there were eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren—to be continued....

In Memory of Mom

(RIP August 10, 2009)

 

Do Not Cry

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

If roses grow in heaven, Lord, pick a bunch for me 

Place them in my mother's arms & tell her they're from me

Tell her that I love & miss her, & when she turns to smile 

place a kiss upon her cheek & hold her for a while 

Because remembering her is easy 

I do it every day 

There's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Happy Mother's Day in Heaven ♥

I love you mom!!!!
