The Death of My Cousin's Wife, April 17th 2011

Zum Tod der Frau meines Cousins am 17. April 2011 / The Death of my Cousin's wife, April 17th 2011/ La muerte de la mujer de mi primo en abril 17 de 2011 (Kintaishi) Ein ausgelöschtes Leben Die Zeit vorweg genommen Verschwimmende Gedanken Wie Bilder, die verblassen An annihilated life Anticipated in time And then almost blurring thoughts Like some fading images Una vida aniquilada Anticipado en tiempo Borrosos pensamientos Desvaneciendo imágenes

Thank you for sending the paintings of the Easter eggs, Gert. I've missed seeing your new work and I'm sure others have missed you as well. I'm sure you are spending time with your cousin now. Hope you managed to enjoy some time over Easter. Love, Carolyn

I am truly sorry about your Cousin's passing, Gert. At these times it's difficult to find words to comfort another for their loss but be assured of a prayer for her and her family. Love, Annalise
