Three years gone...
But, kept alive through our memories and Team Taylor, a biking group that raises money for Make-A-Wish kids in Michigan.

About Me
- Lorrie Grainger Abdo
- Kalamazoo, MI
- I am a paper artist and instructor: handmade paper, paper mosaics, mixed media and surface design. Vibrant colors and interesting textures inspire me and are the primary elements used in my artwork. It comes full circle. My art makes me happy, gives me time to think, and I'd like to think it makes others happy too. Ah, and there's another circle...

My mother defined immortality as the lasting effect on the lives you've touched. I think this makes Taylor immortal.
Oh I love Joanne's sentiment. HOw true that rings.
Thanks ladies.
Extra strong hugs today, Lorrie.
