Glad you enjoyed that Lew.

 

Nice work Joey and Pamela for making it happen.

[Big Cliff]

I am always proud to be an OFNr but as Roy said, sometimes there are things that just go beyond words.

 

Joey, Pam, Paul, thanks for making this all happen!

 

Lew, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, I hope this one will bring back a thousand happy memories.

One heck of a testiment to your brother. I was really looking forward to stopping in at Ed's place for a few on my way to Rideau back in July - I still think about it from time to time. Wonderful and priceless painting Sure wish we could have been there with you during the presentation.

Thank you Joanna and Paul for spearheading the effort I knew it was a good idea from the start. Pam as always your talent is great and the uses you put it to are a tribute to your soul.

 

Lew I know what a powerful force 2 brothers can generate between each other to have a picture that shows that is a rare and precious thing. I am sure that a place of honor will be found and the memories will last for many years to come.

Cheers!

A great tribute for a most deserving man.......

 

We all have or will experience life at it's very best and it's most challenging times. The support that we receive from OFC's, some whom we know well and others who we have never met, is truly overwhelming. The fact that we share some of the best and worst times of our lives with one another attests to what we actually have here.

 

Each time you look into the painting Lew, you will discover new intimate details that bring back fond memories. Something that only an artists rendering can provide.

 

Be well Lew, Diane and Sheri......

[mcallister.grant]

Honestly,

 

This board has is something that I never could of imagined! The people here are so caring and compassionate and that is one of the nicest things that I have seen done for someone.

Lew, I do not know you, but you seem like a very kind man. I hope you enjoy your painting.

 

As well, the painting was beautiful.

[Tacklebuster]

We see it time and time again, these acts of kindness and generosity, that truly separate OFC and its members from the rest. Pam, your paintings are beautiful and a reflection of your passion.
