Her feelings permeate her drawings. I do like her swift pen and wash sketches. Ken

LOVED the visit to Dr. Johnson’s house, using his definitions. It is such an evocative place. Came home to my 3 cats who are a great comfort to me in these very trying times. So glad you have a feline companion as did Dr. Johnson.

These drawings sensitively capture the despair so many among us feel. Dr. Johnson found solace in sociability (which I fear is less common now thanks to the internet’s fake social milieu.). He often shared his homes with others in true Christian spirit. Sadly, I prefer cats.

Everyone has value. Hers is a gentle reminder.

Her death was a tragedy. How much more she would have given to the world if she had lived!
