Oh Dawson 💔 This hits hard for me because my brother died this day 7 years ago…also of cancer. My brother was 37, James was 48. Both gone too young.

My latest art. #artsky
A whimsical digital art piece with a grungy vintage multicolored backdrop with flowers in various styles. There’s a nightmare before Christmas looking woman - in a surrealist style- in stripes. A digital quote above her says “your anxiety is a lying hoe.”

Alex Pretti graduated from a Green Bay high school. One of our dearest friends knows people who knew him. The Midwest as a whole is pretty tight.

His name was Alex Pretti. He was an ICU nurse.

He didn’t deserve to die that way.
