My first...

Sympathy card...

For a dear, sweet friend of mine who's husband passed on Sunday morning.

I kept stamping and tweaking until I felt it was worthy of her...

I just love her...

I still need to write in it...

That's the hardest part for me...

Even knowing what we know...

Their story is a very sweet one...

It touches me more deeply than anyone can understand.

I'm so glad to know that she will see him again.

I know she will have plenty of support as she journeys along her path of grief.

It's always hardest for loved ones left behind.

God bless you Norma...

I love you
