With Sincere Sympathy

This is a card I made for a friend of my Husband's. Last week his Mother passed away unexpectedly. I have never made a sympathy card. For some reason I just thought it wasn't politically correct to make a sympathy card. Then I was thinking, why not?? This is what I do, this is a part of me, it doesn't get more personal than this. That is why I created my first sympathy card. I feel it shows how much we care about our friend and that he is special enough to us that he deserves a special card. I hope he is doing well and going through this tough time with family and friends to lean on (including us). Happiness & hugs to all of you, my extended blogging family! Thank you for your continued support of my blogging efforts. Without you, I wouldn't be doing this!
