This series of photos is very special to me. I took these at the memorial service of my very close Aunt Jackie. She wasn't just an aunt to me, she was a great friend. My family had been through a lot with her, and we cherished her dearly. Sadly, a life of smoking led her to an early end at 54 years old. We miss her dearly.
I am sorry for your loss. Your work on this photo is astounding. I could tell even before reading the description, just from viewing the thumbnail that there was an important story behind this photo.
