The horrifying events and aftermath of September 11^th shook the foundation of every family and business in this country as well as abroad.  We mourn for everyone who was directly and indirectly affected by the evil acts; and applaud the many acts of heroism and selflessness.  Mindful that these events have refocused us all on the blessings of family and friends, we are featuring a family portrait of the Bruno Grandchildren as Portrait of the Month.  Treasured portraits have the power to touch our hearts and nourish our souls.  Clearly, everything we do for many months to come will be overlaid with a shared sense of national grieving and concern for the future.  We at Laurie Studio firmly believe America will recover from this tragedy and emerge stronger people, families, and businesses.
