"I felt as if this was my father telling me that he was thinking of me and that he loved me. It was out of the blue that I was contacted about this portrait and I had no prior knowledge of its existence. I never had the chance to know him because I was only 2 years old when he left to go overseas and sadly he never returned. It really was like I was being touched from heaven." -Lucretia "Chris" Sendelbach, Henry, Illinois - March 17, 2014.
