My niece Tracy, 41 died of cancer Oct. 2007. She has two daughters, Elizabeth who is a junior in college and Stephanie who attends High School. Tracy had a vision and saw herself running through a blue field of flowers with great joy. She was a very sick girl when I took her the quilt and was elated to think the God she served would be so mindful of her that he would put it in my heart to use her favorite colors of blue flowers with yellows and green. I called hers 'Heavenly Sunshine' and she would wrap herself in it the last months of her life. I felt both girls should have one in memory of her so made Heavenly Sunshine II with similar colors and fabrics. For me,It was a labor of love and a precious memory of a young woman who nursed as a profession and always gave comfort to others in their time of illness.
