Lilly at Peppers
Our trip to Magdalena and Peppers will include a very sad part. Marky's wonderful daughter, Wendy Jones, passed away. It was such a shock as she was very young. We will all miss her. Wendy was warm and sharing and fun to be around. She was very instrumental in getting me started at Peppers and taking care of all of us there at the gallery. Her daughter, Lilliana (Lilly), is a delight and Wendy encouraged her talent in art, both painting and acting.
We will go to Wendy's memorial service on Monday in Water Canyon, one of her favorite places. I'm glad we will be able to be there to share the good memories.
Wendy enjoyed the bustle at the gallery especially during Old Timers, so the show will go on. It will not be the same this year. Our sympathy and thoughts are with Marky, Lilly, David and all the family at such a sad time.

Thanks, Joan. Not a great photo and old to boot. I think Lilly is about 12 now.

Thanks Donna and Bag Blog for thinking of me. I'll carry your thoughts with me for Marky and Lilly.
I am so sorry Jo! It is so very, very hard to lose a friend. Just last night I went to the viewing for a friend of ours who lost his battle with cancer. (((Hugs))) You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
