Memorial Montages
After more than
15 years of designing custom art montages for corporations to use in
recognizing their key people we decided to offer our creative services
to families with PaintMyFamily.com. To our surprise, many of our initial
calls came from families who had lost loved ones - particularly children.
We have found that
our montage capabilities work to both celebrate a life, but, in some
cases, to actually put a family back together again. Some of the letters
of appreciation and healing are included in this Memorials section
of our web site.
 Ricky
-- "I absolutely love what you and the artist have
done. The drawing of my little Ricky in Jesus' arms brings tears
to my eyes! The look on Jesus' face is so passionate, the drawing
is breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for the time and effort
you have put into this masterpiece!"

 Matt
-- Christmas 2002 "The loss of our son came suddenly and tragically
this past February. There are no words to describe our emotion
and the emptiness left in our hearts. We have spent endless hours
searching our memories and looking through the photo's we have
trying to fill the hole that has been left in our hearts. Nothing
can compare to the impact this (montage) tribute to Matt's life
has had on each of us. It has all but brought him to life again.
My husband said it took his breath away when he saw it for the
first time. It stopped me in my tracks and all I could do was
cry. I felt as if Matt was standing there and I could reach out
and touch him. It left our family speechless when they received
a copy for Christmas. The artist, Roger, has a gift, pure and
simple." -- Amy and Scott

 Nathan
-- "In January of 1995, at the age of 24, my son Nathan died
after a 6 ½ year battle with cancer. Shortly after Nathan's passing,
my ex-wife gave me a copy of this hand-painted composite of familiar
photos of Nathan. I hung it on the wall in my bedroom. Each night
before I went to bed and every morning upon waking it was there
to help me through the difficult times. In my work as a Family Service
Counselor for a Mortuary and Cemetery, I help people make final
arrangements for their loved ones on a daily basis. One day I received
a call from a woman I had helped with arrangements for her husband
a few months previous. She was going through a rough period and,
being aware of my loss, asked me how I got through these times.
After giving it some thought, I told her that this painting of Nathan's
life has somehow helped me through those episodes of despair and
bereavement. Because the painting has been there every day since
his death I had begun to take it for granted. When I received this
phone call I recognized what this representation of Nathan's life
means to me. If the house was burning down and I only had time to
save one thing, I would run out of the house with this painting."

 Mike
-- "When we unwrapped the painting, it was like seeing our
family whole again for the first time in seven years, since Mike’s
death. We have never had a family picture taken since his death,
even at our daughter’s wedding, because it was not our complete
family. Now that we have this portrait of the five of us, we will
be able to go on and have pictures of the four of us, as a family.
We are thankful that we had an opportunity to have this picture
done. " -- Judy |

 Ron
-- "Losing my brother has been the most challenging experience
in my family’s life. I wanted a portrait of Ron, so that I
could feel him with me everyday. When I first saw the finished piece,
there was a hint of sadness, but it was breathtaking. Whenever I
look at this collection of images, I feel an overwhelming sense
of peace and comfort. It truly memorializes the energy of Ron’s
life." -- Lori |

Lynda
-- "Thank you so much for the patience and compassion you've
shown me during the emotional process of putting together the pictures
of my Lynda's montage. I have placed the finished piece on
the most prominent wall in our family room. I greatly enjoy
the pleasurable memories each image brings back to me. It
has become my most prized possession. I am certain that Lynda's
children and siblings will enjoy their [lithographs] the same as
I do. Mere words cannot convey the comfort this picture has
given me. I am certain it will continue to do so until I can
hold her in my arms again." -- Casey |
