Incredible Gifts From Miguel

Miguel is an incredible man that I have only met over the phone. He has purchased two paintings from us for Carrie the lovely lady next to him. When he called the first time somehow Tanya came into the conversation. Miguel never forgot Tanya. On Tanya's next birthday a florist came to the gallery with a dozen beautiful white roses. The card simply said Thinking of You, Miguel Mendoza. It took me several minutes to figure out who this was from, as Miguel lives in another state and I had never met him except the one time, over the phone, when he had ordered a painting for Carrie. You just do not find people that would do such an incredibly kind and loving thing, as to send grieving parents that he had never even met a dozen roses.

Tanya loved flowers and her favorite was roses. I called the florist to ask for his phone number so I could thank him. I was told that they were sent FTD and all they could tell me was the city and state that they were sent from. When they told me this I told my husband that the only Miguel I knew from that state was a man that had ordered a painting from us over the phone. I went through my old invoices and there I saw that Miguel was from that city. I was over whelmed. Before I received the roses I was very depressed and incredible sad thing about how Tanya would have been 23 years old & possible married and had a child, as she loved children so much. The incredible gift of the roses helped me get through the day. Miguel is such a loving, caring, kind and giving man.

Last week Miguel and orded another painting for Carrie. Carrie was coming to isit her daughter and she came into the gallery. Miguel had told me that he had a picture for me that Carrie was bringing up and that would I give her the painting that he had purchased for her to her. I thought that he meant that he had a framed picture of him & Carrie for me. I was totally in shock when Carrie came in with a gift wrapped Limited Edition painting  "Messenger of Love" by Mary Baxter St. Clair! I could not believe what I was seeing. This man is unbelievable. He is truly a messenger of Love! Carrie told me that Miguel and Tanya share the same birthday. Miguel has a wonderful heart. I'm sure that he has touched so many lives. I will cherish this painting for the rest of my life and it will stay in my family for eternity! I hope to met Miguel in person. How to you thank someone properly that is this giving?

The angel in "Messenger of Love" looks very much like Tanya did at around twelve and thirteen.
