I went in Judi's gallery again for inspiration. A neighbor of ours passed away yesterday, though we have only been here for 2 years another neighbor knows about my cardmaking and asked if I could make one for him, so I did. I will be cooking something for the family, I know it's no time to cook when you lose someone and you need to feed alot of people that stop by.
This card did it for me. Our neighbor is a fisherman, hence this silhouette of a fisherman found on the web!

This is a Wonderful card. It is sure to bring comfort. I can tell you, I cried when I saw this, and didn't know that it was a sympathy card. I thought of my brother, and what I know he would have been doing if he could have, after my mother passed. He always said that fishing was his way of getting closer to his maker.
