When Dave's sister's health began its downward spiral, I needed to let her know that she was in my thoughts. As an artist, my feelings are most easily expressed through my pottery....so, I decided to make her a box of HOPE.
Since his family is Presbyterian, Dave suggested that I make it with the Presbyterian Cross. After looking up the details of this cross, I began to form the box.
My idea was to fill the box with positive "thoughts" that might be a source of inspiration for her as she battled her cancer so I painted strips of clay with various words such as: harmony, healing, clarity, serenity, acceptance, courage, strength, spirit, prayer, laughter, hope, faith, etc.
As she continues her struggle to get through each day, I am hopeful that some of these affirmations are a source of strength, not only to Kaye, but to the family members that are at her side...

Hi, Grammie, What a lovely gift for Dave's sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during these days.
David called me to tell me today that Ella has cultured a nasty bacteria that will take about a month of meds to shake. I knew the day was coming when something nasty would happen with the cf, but I was hoping it wouldn't be for a long time.
Oh Beverly....I am sending positive energy your way as sweet Ella fights off this bacteria. I know that this isn't easy. My thoughts are with you...
Take care,
xoxo
