Katie's Garden Banner


It has been my extreme pleasure to work on this banner that will go in a memory garden for a young women (17 years old) who lost her life in a car accident, along with 3 of her friends. Katie loved pink and Zinnia's... So this banner is to honor her life. I wrote this affirmation to go along with it and it is written on the back of the banner...

KATIE'S GARDEN

It is here we will gather...
We will sit and watch
the flowers grow....
We will make wishes on
moonbeams
As you sleep in the stars...

It is here we will gather...
To remember you...
To remember to laugh...
To remember to dream.
It is here we will gather...

To feel your love, and the
colors of your shining soul
As you kiss us softly with
butterfly wings....

Today may your remember to give the people you love an extra kiss...
Artfully Yours,
Pattie

It's so beautiful Patricia. How terribly sad, but to know you keep her spirit alive, as well as her friends', through your art is a wonderful thing.
