Description
i heard the news yesterday from a fellow artist about a dear friend and wonderful artist who lost his long tough battle with cancer. ""i so hate cancer"", it takes so many innocent lives daily across the world. here below is the message i received.
god bless you Lars, your now in heaven and pain free. you will be missed my friend.
Dear Friends of Lars,
Forgive the "mass letter," but there are many of you, and only one of me, so I have to do this 'all at once'...
I have the very sad burden of telling you that our dear Lars (LBJ2) passed away a week ago. I just found out this morning, from one of Lars' Danish friends. He found out from Lars' landlord.
He was buried yesterday---Thursday, April 30---in Gilleleje, Denmark. It's right near where he lived (Vejby, Denmark). He was buried in the town in which he grew up. He was 53 and a half, and that was way, way too early...
I wish I had more details, but this is all I know right now. As I hear more, I'll tell all of you, or I'll post it in a dedi, which I hope to post this weekend. (I just need time to find the right words...)
I know that many of you knew Lars much better than I, and I send you my deepest condolences. In the few years I got to know him, he stunned me with his incredibly kind and accepting nature, his endless gratitude for the smallest things in life, and how openly he faced his ordeal. I was stunned by his honesty about it, and how ne hever stopped showing love and kindness throughout. It's stunning to me that he was taken, and so young. And he was such an inspired artist. So humane, and so loving...
I'll notify the Vue and Mixed Medium forums...If any of you think other galleries should know, please feel free to tell them.
I'll also notify the site administrators, and hope they'll mention Lars on the front page. They did for Mina (nekhbetsun) and other wonderful members---they most certainly should for Lars.
Finally, I'll be posting a dedi in the next few days, and I'll do a search every day to find any of yours; and I'll pay my respects. He was a deep heart and soul, and I send my condolences to all of you for your loss, and I wish you all a blessed May,
Mark (anahata.c)
ps---I got your names from Lars' last several uploads, so if any of you know friends who aren't there, please feel free to let them know...many thanks

A beautiful image for a wonderful man. May he truly rest in peace.
Sorry to hear,so sad.....very dreadful disease...beautiful dedi Steve
Beautiful dedication.
it's so heartening to read how much love Lars engendered...all that he gave just flows back to him...a beautiful tribute, Steve, with an angel brought to her knees because she's without words for Lars' passing...And her wings (which are like thick, beautiful wool) are backed by gigantic flowers. Spring (as you may have known well) was Lars' favorite time of year, he wrote of it so lovingly in the last months of his life, so happy it was finally arriving...so these flowers are perfect for him, all sunlight and with a green sky and sea...It's a beautiful dedi from someone I know loved him very much. Sit with the angels, Lars, and see how much you are loved...and thank you Steve, it's beautiful.
Beautiful tribute Steve**********

yes it is sad . beautiful tribute
yesterday, I went by a club to inquire about a long time friend. he liked hanging out there, so I asked about him. I was told that he died 3 months before. he was about Lars age. cancer was not the reason for my friend's early death, but too much beer. beautiful dedication for Lars
Nice tribute
fantastic tribute
Nice dedication.
A fine tribute. I just found out on Friday my Aunt and Mom's sister has lung cancer. Mom passed away December 7, 2011 from ocular melanoma. December 24th was Mom's birthday. She would have been 79 years old. I still miss her and the pain still lingers...
Sorry for your loss Steve, lovely dedication
A wonderful and heartfelt tribute Steve!!!
A spectacular dedication for Lars and thanks to Mark for getting so much information out to all of us. Thanks to you too Steve for passing the information along!
