What a terrible thing to happen. The thought of demons freely roaming around us fills me with dread. Your wonderfully drawn portrait of Melissa is sure to find a permanent place in her mother's heart.

This looks so much like a photograph that I am jealous of your skill. Way to go, you! Are you SERIOUS? Wow! Great job! Amazing work. I am going back under my rock.

A very sad story for this beautiful person whose life was cut short. This is an extremely beautiful portrait presented here. Your talent deserves at least a six. I wish I could award you one so I'm giving you a virtual one. Thank you for sharing this.

A superb drawing, this girl is so lifelike, alive, and I am sure that your tribute was much welcomed by the family. Excellent details, beautifully blended, and I really like the composition. Very talented work, thank you for sharing.

Oh Linda - my heart is truly saddened to acknowledge the tragedy behind this wonderful drawing. The world we live in today seems so unjust and hurtful. God bless you my friend for shining through and offering kindness to those in need.

With glaucoma and Cataracs, at first (the small thumbnail) appeared to be a photograph - just saying, that's how astonishing your work is. Over the years you have continuously amazed me with your art (and Heart).

I'm just a humble photographer - and certainty not accredited to even attempt a review in traditional art. I can only tell you what I see and feel in your completed efforts, and this one is extraordinary. Not because of the notes - rather the similarity in detail between pencil and a camera's digital card. You have truly delivered a realistic piece that is so finite in detail and realism that it is unfathomable. Your ability to home in on the highlights, shadows, details and general replica of the shot is extraordinary! You truly have a gift.

I'm so confident that her family will be heartfelt with emotion when gazing at this remarkable piece. You're a good soul, Linda, I admire you deeply.
