I'm very saddened to report the news that Caitlin Dikos, a very gifted artist has passed away. She recently sent me her work and it was exceptional. Her father Mike Dikos sent me a note about her passing. Her funeral was held 18 March. Caitlin's artwork will remain online as a tribute to her talent.

I am the father of Caitlin Dikos. We would like to thank you for posting our daughter Caitlin's artwork on your site. Caitlin has recently passed away, and we are glad to know that everyone will be able to see how talented our daughter was. She was only 21, but filled with talent. She touched the lives of many people, and will be greatly missed. Thank you again.
Sincerely,

Mike and Cathy Dikos
