Oh it gets worse... I Thought it was the older daughter that died, but it was the younger one. She was only 11 years old!

As for the angel portrait, her mom commissioned one of both daughters before Christmas as a Christmas gift to each daughter. I do these drawings where I take any photo and turn the person into an angel doing, well, angel things. The ones I drew for her were angels putting stars in the sky. I am floored that she is now dead and its throwing me through a loop that I drew her as an angel. Before I started doing the angel drawings, I said to my husband about how they might make some people uneasy because the people in the portraits weren't dead. I don't know if I could draw another one... it would feel too weird.

My heart goes out to them as well as any other family with similar crises in their lives. It makes you stop and value what you have right now.
