Gene McKelvey is a friend from Principal Financial in Des Moines, who came down, along with three other good friends, to the visitation for our late grandson, Quentin in January. Gene is a graphic artist, and had done a drawing of all our grandchildren several years ago, that I commissioned and gave to Lila for her birthday. After the visitation Gene graciously offered to do a composite drawing of Quentin as a memorial, because he was moved to do something. He just completed the drawing and brought it to our house, along with his wife Margaret, and presented it to us this past weekend. In it he drew Quentin's portrait, surrounded by the letter "Q", his nickname, and other pictures from his life. We were very moved by this unbelievable gesture, and told him that we would present the picture to our daughter, Jonna, which we did this morning. He had a digital copy made for us that we will have framed and display proudly. Gene and Margaret are terrific people and will always have a special place in our hearts.
