Congrats to ConnieJo9 for being Queen this week~I know I pm'd you that I just couldnt make a card right now, but I forced myself to make a sympathy card for this family and I hope you dont mind that I chose one of your cards to case.
I chose this one to case: QFTD03 I Love Golfing with My Son by Connie Jo9 at Splitcoaststampers
Added ribbon to it and changed the colors.
Our family lost a very close freind this week, my boys called him uncle Ed, he was like a teddy bear and everyone loved him. It is soo sad that he had a heart attack at the age of 49 and I still cant believe he is gone...I am tearing up as I type this out.

I am tearing up just reading your note. Good for you to get our your paper and ink to honor your friend, taken too soon. The family will be touched and you will be doing something good for them to express how you feel. May tomorrow be a better day. Your card is elegant and touching.

I'm tearing up as well. It's sad when the elderly pass, but it's tragic when loved ones are taken from us far too soon. Hugs to you and your family. This beautiful card will be very appreciated.

I am so sorry for the difficult time you are experiencing. I am honored that you used one of my cards for inspiration and took the time to post it. You are sooooo sweet. Your card is beautiful and will be truly appreciated by the family that you took the time to make the card for. Homemade always speaks volumes of love to the person receiving it.

Oh Sue... I'm sorry you needed this card. It's never easy to lose someone we love but even more difficult when one is so young. You did a beautiful case of ConnieJo's card and I know this will be so appreciated! Hugs!

Sue, I am so sorry to hear about Ed. It's always such a shock to hear of someone that young having a heart attack.
I think the card you've crafted for Ed's family is wonderful in black and white. Your couldnt have selected a more appropriate image. Beautifully done and eloquently crafted.
