Heaven Copyrighted 2006 Sher Richardson Image created from two original pieces of art. One pencil One acrylic merged in Photoshop, titled Heaven . From October 2005 Dear God The sands of time trickle down the hourglass. No matter how much you want to pick it up, turn it over and have the hours back. You cant & Please dear God let me dream tonight. The visions play in your minds eye, in dreams on the darkest nights. Of youth, and smiles, laughter, scents, comforting touches and kisses that were meant, full of warmth and lasted forever. Please Dear God let me dream tonight. Sands through the hourglass Moments of rhyme A year or a tick of time A single grain or an oceans worth Has it passed or stood motionless Please dear God let me dream tonight. Remembering times remembering when, are the black sands of Egypt trickling again? The gifts she gave they will forever be, in your heart, when we remember. What she gave, she gave to me. Please dear God let me dream tonight Beholding what we do with her gifts. Our blessings in disguise. Reflections from the mirror& One year later, has time passed? Please Dear God& let me dream tonight. &Jeff Richardson 2006

The image by Sher is forever amazing!!!! We always have our dreams, and they are wonderful or not. We always have our memories, both comforting and painful. You honor Sher's life and it is heartfelt and real. And I know Sher wants you to capture life and fill up your senses, and feel it, and live it and love it and share it, reveal it, celebrate it and be. And it is okay. It's okay to dream, to remember, to feel the loss and to live for today and look forward to tomorrow. You have so much to give, to learn, to experience! I love ya Jeff!Lisa Prentiss 02 Jan 2007
Jeff I am so sorry for your loss and for the worlds. I have never seen talent like this. I think it very gracious of you to allow other artists to continue to be inspired by a master of the fine arts. Sher had true vision and just by looking at her work you can almost feel each piece...her soul will forever be strong...and each person that sees her work will forever be touched. My prayers are with you.Meena Kurup 05 Dec 2006

Wonderful words, i never got to know her yet i miss her, how can this be? Her works & words still touch many even though she is gone from this world. How lucky you are to have known her the best. May you dream of her often as that is a place that can only be real when you are there. I too lost my spouse & i visit him in my dreams, a place that will always be in my heart. Sweet dreams!!

Dear Jeff, I hope you'll dream tonight... thanks for your beautiful words... you're in my thoughts....XXXOLGAAnonymous Guest 23 Oct 2006
Jeff, thinking of Sher....you, Amber and Cody tonight. Sher was such a gift. I was thinking back to when we used to get together.. camping.. sledding..playing cards... holidays.... Sher helped all of us to see the beauty in God's creation. I still have the little sculpted ornament that she made of our family, out of clothespins and plaster! And I couldn't wait to see the costumes that she would create for Cody and Amber and herself at Halloween. She was the face painting artist for all the nieces and nephews at halloween. When Jamie died, Sher went upstairs to sit with Jessica and had just the right words of comfort for that moment. Sher will never be forgotten...Her life is forever etched into my heart and many others. BeckyClare Rowley 22 Oct 2006

Good! Jo DawkinsAnonymous Guest 20 Oct 2006
The bits of dialogue I had with Sher over the two years I interacted with her were very powerful influences on my creative abilities. I can only imagine the sense of loss from those who really loved and lived with her. Your words are poetic and emotionally charged and this is how she remains with you, and through you, to us. Her spirit is made eternal by those who loved and cherished her.Anonymous Guest 20 Oct 2006

Dreams do not come when you wish it to.. except when you are not expecting.... pretending not to be expecting does not work, unfortunately... I am sorry, but it has been that way of a widow of 16 years... I am hoping for you, it won't be the same... that Sher will visit you more often than my husband ever did... He just knew I would miss him too much if he showed up too often... I'm sure that is not the same with you... I am soooo sorry you had to go through this pain... Sher must be right beside you and your children.... she always has and always will be... I just feel that..:-) thanks for posting this, Jeff..:-)debbie collier 19 Oct 2006
