In Memoriam


The world lost a great lady today. Wendy Bardsley of Godfrey, IL, passed away this afternoon. She will be remembered by all who knew her as an energetic, courageous, and selfless woman. She was the companion of Onyx, a lucky Great Dane that she rescued from a shelter in Missouri. With mutual love and patience the two became an impressive therapy team, a force of good in their community. Together they brought joy and cheer to people in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. They also brought delight to countless children at area schools and libraries. All of us here at Nichols Photography feel honored to have known her.

The Native Americans believe all art has a spirit that must be made free to manifest itself again. Wendy was certainly a creation of art, she had completed her work here and her amazing spirit must have been needed elsewhere. We will miss you, Wendy.
