I needed a sympathy card this week for one of my best friends who lost her MIL to Lou Gehrigs disease. It progressed very quickly as I suppose it always does, and I can't imagine the shock...hard to be on the other side of the world when sweet, longtime friends are going through such things...my friend has only been married 2 years and her MIL was in her 50s still.

Accessories: tag font - Hannibal Lecter; stipple brush - water and sky. square punch - almost forgot! Image is behind a window. It has a border around it I decided I didn't like and the punch fit perfectly. Serendipity!

This is a beautiful card. It's hard to have to make them and send them instead of give them to a dear friend with a BIG HUG! What a sad time for everyone. Prayers for all of you.

So sorry about your friend, but when you can't be there in person, you couldn't have come up with a more fitting card. This is simply beautiful. It is peaceful, serene and comforting feeling. TFS.
