A Man "Michael died march 1st 2012"

Bearing for her life's burdens soothes the children of their tears Is the rock all others break upon leaves fond memories are his years

My son in law Michael Wellman walking with his daughter, my granddaughter Payton
This picture now framed hangs in his mothers atrium welcoming all who visit.

Author's Note

Last Christmas I laid it out on canvas. It was given to Michael as a present. Little could any of us imagine how prophetic these lines would become. Yet none the less he remains the one deserving in my mind of such an honor. When I met Michael I thought he must have great parents". And so he does. Michael s life ended tragically a few days ago. What's left to say but we loved him we miss him. Nothing fills that void.

This is something to read aloud, and I did. A wonderful tribute to a wonderful person.

Why is it the good ones leave us so early? Wonderful tribute to a great man Tate.

[Lily Mae]

This is perfect and you again capture the heart and soul of your work and the man.. It's beyond me to questions why these losses take place, I've had to many myself. I trust in a higher purpose..xo

Without being told, without a position of power, without public acclaim, without being rewarded......it is still possible for us to do what we want to. Nice write!
