Yes! I sent the framed original watercolor to Jess. I did not know them, nor any of the family or butterfly effort, but I wanted to send Jess a thank you, if you will, a real gesture of love. Nancy's spirit is powerful and she has been "in my head" and I have listened to her. I am deeply grateful. Thank you for your kind words, borndem.
See post #57 on the appeal info. (page 3) for the written tribute, which could have been written to any of Nancy's friends and loved ones who took a stand on her behalf. It is with great honor that I participated in this process. Friendship comes in many forms, and I feel I have a friend in Nancy. Being an artist, I accept inspiration however it shows up. It can just be a "feeling", and I listen. I am deeply grateful.
