Happy New Year everyone...
My first post of 2011 is dedicated to the memory
of my Abuelita who passed away just before Christmas
a little over two weeks ago.
She meant a lot to me and our entire family. She was
a true matriarch in every sense of the word.
At the age of 93 she had lived a long and prosperous life.
She was full of energy and her spirit will live on forever.
Here is a portrait I painted of her after she passed and was displayed next to her casket.
This is the way I wanted everyone to remember her.

Abuelita, te quiero mucho.
Que en paz descanse.
