Saint Anastasia

Anastasia spread love everywhere. She said “I love you” in place of “good-bye”. In the summer of 2016, Anastasia faced cancer with an amazing dignity, grace, and ethereal spirit. She shared this last journey on social media, teaching friends and admirers how to live while dying, and how to die while living. She posed for this icon and suggested the words. I began stitching on the day she died, but her words will live forever.
