Remember Lost Loved Ones | Memorial Gifts - PaintYourLife

Our beautiful daughter Amanda passed away in a vehicle accident in November of 2019 at the young age of 22. She was on her way to school. These last several months have been extremely difficult for our family and holidays feel completely empty. This first Mother’s Day for my wife Nellie would prove to be the most difficult thus far. My son and oldest daughter wanted to give her a gift that would encompass her unique and beautiful relationship with our baby girl. The picture that was used for this portrait captured them having a good time trying on makeup and making their best attempts at being supermodels. Thank you for allowing her to receive something. That she will cherish for the rest of her life.

My mom lost her sister to lung cancer 10 years ago. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of her and wish she were still here with us! I had this painting done for Mother’s Day and was so excited to see her reaction!

The painting I got for my wife is kind of a heartbreaking one. Our wedding is 11/1/19, but we ended up getting married on 9/6/19 at her mother’s bed side in the CCU unit. Her mom was diagnosed in 2017 with lung cancer. She had part of one removed, went through chemo and radiation and thought she was in the clear. In February she had a pet scan, and in March she was told it came back very aggressive. She tried a new treatment, and unfortunately it did not work. She was happy at the bridal shower on 8/25/19 and everyone was so happy to see her smiling and taking pictures. On Labor Day she was rushed to the hospital and we were told she had 2 weeks to live and would not make the wedding. We decided we would get married, and have Barbara sign our certificate and be the witness. We are still going to have the wedding since it is paid for, but my wife was able to wear the veil her mom bought her and allow her to wipe cake off her face. Everyone that has seen the painting has had tears in their eyes and said it feels like she is still here.

My husband's grandmother passed away a few months after our oldest turned 1, the last pictures that we have of her are from his 1st Birthday, I wanted to do something different for my husband for Christmas this year and get him something that was personal, special, and would mean the world to him. He was very close to his grandmother and took her death pretty hard. So I sent in a picture of his grandmother holding our oldest on his 1st birthday and a picture of myself holding our youngest on his 1st birthday. I had them basically put the two pictures together so that it looked like she was holding the both of them, the finished product was amazing. And to say he LOVED IT is an understatement, he cried like a baby! Mission Accomplished!!
