Gabriela, I have finally made the connection. This is a beautiful album of camellias. Your photography is wonderful, but more than that your words for dear Judy are so special. So you are right, we do "know" each other through Judy, Webshots and Am3. Thanks for being such a loving and caring friend to Judy. She is a very special lady.....Marion

Dear Gabriela! It touches my heart to see this act of compassion. Giref is an inevitable part of life. People deal with it in many ways: internalize it, deny it, accept it or rebel against it. Whatever way one deals with it, the cause remains the same. A flower is an apt example: it buds, blooms and withers. Your pictures and words are a sensitive tribute to Judy's son. Judy's words are eloquent and come from her heart. May she find acceptance and peace. Thanks for helping her on her way. Suresh

Dear Gabriela, When I first looked at this album page of 12 photos and the descriptions, I knew immediately it was a tribute to Judy and Mike in memory of David. My monitor is not very large and the dedication sentence did not show without my moving the mouse down. This is a beautiful album of gorgeous photos combiled with so much love for our dear friend. Your thoughts expressed are lovely. the entire album is a treasure. I have had the pleasure of meeting her as you know, and believe me, she is as lovely as the prettiest camellia in this alubm. Hugs, Carol

Dearest Gabriella, your stunning photographs and poignant poetry are a tribute not only to David, taken much too soon from his family, but also to your friendship for Judy and the depth of caring you so often show. I have not had much time lately to spend with my webshots family, but am so happy that I chose this album as the one I would view today in my few spare moments. Now I must go to Judy's site and send her my heartfelt condolences as well. Many hugs to you and Yoshiyuki, Beth

Oh Gabriela, this album is such a treasure! The flowers are definitely beautiful, but the words you put to them are precious. I love reading your thoughts. What a beautiful treasure for Judy for the loss of David. You are a very special and talented lady. hugs, Barbara

Dear Gabriela! Anything I say after Judy's words seem woefully inadequate! I've just read every caption BEFORE viewing your flowers because each and every one tells a beautiful and poignant story bringing tears to my eyes! You are truly a great friend to Judy, a very talented photographer, and a poet! God bless you, Gabriela!

My dearest Gabriela, I first went through this album, viewing the beautiful Camellias and reading your captions. Then I let my heart lead as I went through it again, and let the words come. ... I'm sure that if I did it a hundred times, the words might be different, but I'm left with a warm glow within that comes from David's zest for life. He would tell me (us) to live FOR him, and that is what we are trying to do. ... We talked to Kayla last night and she told us that Mommy bought her a balloon and she made a card to 'float' up to Daddy for his birthday, Friday. She feels a strong bond - a link - that sadly, time may weaken, but for now, is very real. ... Thank you, dear friend, for this beautiful album, that you created in David's memory. And now, with tears in my eyes, I will go back to bed, and hopefully to sleep. I send my love... Judy
