I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I had been trying to connect with you after all these years. I was saddened to have an obituary of Art’s passing pop up during the search of your name. I’m so sorry Donalee! I am glad you are blessed with so many friends and family that loved you both. I hope you are doing ok. I remember when you and Art first met through a friend (Bill Rolland’s I think his name was).

Donalee – I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I never had an opportunity to meet Art, I know he was an amazing & talented man.

Much love, Denise & your Visual Family at Holt Renfrew.

We will be attending the service on Wednesday. We believe that Art’s spirit continues on in a place where he can be at peace and continue to create…. maybe there is a spot open in research and development that God needed an innovative thinker for! Art would definitely fit that description. Big hugs to everyone from Saskatchewan!
