So sad for my friend

I think I have shown you a card I've sent to my friends who were our neighbors before we moved here. He was diagnosed with bile duct cancer last year and had several operations for it. He was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has fought so hard. His wife has been at his side every minute. She texted me Friday morning at 7:47 and said her dad had passed. She texted me an hour later and said her husband passed. Her husband was buried Saturday and her dad this morning. This is the card I made for her. Darice embossing folder, leaf punched with a EK punch with K&C Company paper, PTI twine bow and Pretty Pink Posh sequins. I sponged over the edges and the sentiment with Vintage Photo DX ink. I'm having a hard time writing inside. The pain has to be awful and no words can take that away. I can only be there for her.



Be kind to one another.

The card is just lovely and so serene and I'm sure your friend appreciated your taking time to make it for her. I cannot imagine such a loss but I choose to think her dad took her husband to heaven along with him and they're both free of pain now. Bless you and your friend.
