We had 20 together as a young family, which included the role of watching the amazing evolution of an artist, taught by a higher master.

You humbly gave all credit to your Creator. I loved that about you. You strive-d for perfection & exceeded, reaching the divine with your creations.

When did it happen? The merging of man & his art?
I was blessed to be there to watch this incredible metamorphosis.

Thank you for sharing the gift we created together- our two little boys. They modeled for you in the early art years (we bribed them with nickels to stand still, remember?)

You gave the world a piece of your soul with each painting, drawing, sculpture. What the world didn’t know is that the each piece hurt just a little when it was time to sign you name & call it finished.

We shall dedicate each ocean sunset to you, taking a bit of comfort that our Lord, the Divine Master artist, is beside you now with a universal size canvas & eternal flow of paint.

May God comfort all your families as only He can.

Gratefully & eternally yours with love, Ann Stotts & our sons, Bill Owen 3rd & Sean Owen.
