"Memories are the treasures that we keep locked
deep within the storehouse of our souls, to keep
our hearts warm when we are lonely."
.. B. Aligada
I dedicate this drawing to the memory of my mother,
Yolanda Czinke, who passed away on March 2, 2008.
I've spent many happy hours walking around Central
Park in NYC with my family. First as a baby, when
weather permitting, my Mom would take me there
for our daily walks. She must have wheeled my
carriage under that Greywacke Arch hundreds of
times. Then over the years we enjoyed many
wonderful outings that included my Dad and my
brother Bob. Later I delighted in sharing the same
with my daughter Kim. This particular drawing is
especially dear to me. It not only brought back
special moments spent with my family but as Mom
watched the image to completion, she and I spoke
of all the pleasant times she recalled.
Thank you Mom, for all your love and all the
beautiful memories.
