Description The funeral for one of my good friends is in two hours... She had diabetes, and that's what she died from. Emily always had to check her bloodsugar and couldn't eat many things that she wanted, all because of her blood sugar. Too many times it soared straight up for no reason or dropped way below normal.
Emily, you're finally free. We're going to have a Dr. Pepper someday Not diet, either.

I used a lot of 's style I guess. Except he's a million times better than me so go check him out.
6B, 2B pencil
I had to do two separate scans, so that's why one half of the picture looks more greyish than the other half.

finally free. sounds good to me. but I'm sorry your friend didn't make it. It must be very tough on you. It was indescribably kind of you to make a tribute to her like this. diabetes can be hard on the body and the soul sometimes.

Touching picture... Really sorry to hear about your friend, I've lost one by death years ago as well and it's hard. This is a really nice honor to make for her.

The picture is also pretty good, the details in the wings are awesome...
