Contributed by Paul Behnke / My wife Garner Behnke, who suffered from debilitating illness and took her own life two years ago this December, was a passionate, funny, intelligent, and talented woman whom I love and miss very much. She wrote wonderful poetry and short stories. She loved her dog Gyp beyond measure. She believed in me and my work and never minded if I woke her in the middle of the night to come and see a just-finished painting, which I was almost always unduly excited about.
