Notes From My Easel

Lennie and I shared a beautiful love affair for 996 days and nights from Valentine’s Day 2009, when we met by serendipitous chance on the Internet, to November 7, 2011 when he died in my arms in his beloved Hawai’i.

The following is a pictoral history of some of the early photos in the short span of life that we shared.  How we filled that time with love, laughter and devotion to each other.
