My heart goes out to the family of Edna Kastelitz, 90, of Livingston who passed away early Friday, August 29, 2008 at Livingston Memorial Hospital. I met Edna in 2001 when I sought out an "older woman" to photograph for my upcoming one-woman show at The Frame Garden titled "Neighbors and Friends, The Face of Livingston". Our neighbor, an artist, told me about Edna, a student in her painting class...
.
I met Edna at her Livingston home. She was beautiful and spirited. She spoke of her husband, Ed, who had passed away a few years earlier. And she had gorgeous lilac bushes in her backyard of which she was very proud...
The photo (below) is the one I decided to exhibit in the show which opened in July 2001. I just loved her joy and the way she was looking up toward the sky, toward heaven... Something (or someone) up there made her smile.
Somehow it seems appropriate that the Kastelitz family selected this image for exhibit during her memorial service at St. Mary's Catholic Church this past Friday.
Kevin, thank you for contacting me. I hope your family enjoys the framed photo for years to come...(and thanks so much to all of you for the gift certificate to Boodles!)
