A woman—sitting on a bed with a scarf tied around her head—looks to another, who grasps her hand and offers a glass of water. The two figures occupy a comfortable home. A painting of Christ hangs on the wall while light spills through a curtained window, marking the moment sacred. Flynn illustrates the final weeks of her sister’s life as she battled cancer. Flynn comments on those who attended to her: “The physical pain, the anguish and unknowns of life this disease brought upon her, were overcome by those who listened to the call to care for her.”
“I learned how great Christ’s compassion is for all His children who believe in Him.”
