A Very Special Sympathy Card

Hello and Happy Monday!  The beginning of the work week came all to soon (at least for me).  Ugh.

Today, one of my dear friends was on my mind and I was thinking back to when she used to live near me and we worked together.  I miss her dearly.  She is one of the most positive, loving and pure people I have ever met in my life.  She has a very special place in my heart.

A couple of months ago, she lost her dear husband, who was also one of the most loving and kind people I have ever met.  You couldn't have met anyone more family-oriented if you tried.

Not living near my friend any longer, and not wanting to call and intrude on the pain that their entire family was feeling, I went to my craft room and made a card.  Actually, I ripped it apart like six times, because it had to be absolutely perfect.  Nothing I did seemed to be good enough to show how I felt about these people. 

One of the things that I have always felt when around these friends is soothed.  Just a sense of peace that I knew I was accepted for me, flaws and all.  That didn't deter them from treating me so incredibly well.

After struggling so hard to make the perfect card, this is what I came up with.  I just felt them both as I finally came to this end product.  May he ever remain in peaceful slumber and she always feel that love he had for her.
