Is this the same Faith who started Markie's Stamps several years ago? Markie was that Faith's son's name; I'm not sure I remember the full name of her stamp store.

No. This is a different person. Click the link in post #1 if you'd like to see Faith Skrdla's From the Heart stamps.

Oh, Dina! Thank you for letting us know. A friend told me about this post, and I am so sorry to hear about Faith's passing. What an amazing talent and beautiful wife, mom, and friend to many. I love her heart and artwork! She will be deeply missed by her family especially and by her many friends. :(

She lived in my town in Nebraska for several years; so many here will miss her.

So sad to read this today. I have some of her digis and just bought a few more - some fun and creative ideas, such a talent. God bless her family.

I just recently stumbled upon some adorable stamped images and thought to myself, I need to buy some of these stamps - they are so cute! Unfortunately, as I began researching things further that's when I found out that the images were designed by Faith and that she had passed away.

My thoughts go out to her family - she was very talented and was taken from her loved ones at such a young age. :(

That is heartbreaking news. Does anyone know if there’s a way to contribute to the Gofundme for her family directly?

I was able to make a pledge directly to the family using the link to the Go Fund Me page that HOTWHEELS provided near the top of this thread.

They have only raised 1/2 of the goal amount that they were hoping to raise. Too bad they aren't still selling her digi images - I'm sure there are people out there who would love to buy Faith's art work even though she's not creating new images. I suppose that's just not at the top of their list of things that are important at this point.

Should have read the date. This was a year ago and I missed the news. Clicked on the website and it is now a generic domain. :*(
