At a certain point in your life, you come to realize that you are sending out sympathy cards on a more “regular” basis. We reach a point where our friends are losing parents more regularly. And when people in our own generation start to “disappear” more often. Doesn’t make it any easier.
This card was made for someone I’ve never met, but whose story I have a connection to thru a friend. And a story I feel a distant resonance with because of things in my past as well.
I don’t know much more about the family other than the “public details”, but I felt compelled to make a card for the family. Maybe because of the complete senselessness of the whole thing. Maybe because of a few similarities between them and myself. Whatever the reason, this is the card I am sending to the family. I like the simplicity of the layout and the fact that there are three images here is now coincidence. It’s a trifecta of sadness that I can only hope that God can bring peace and resolution to.
the colors are white and Wisteria Wonder. The ribbon is the 5/8” white organza, dyed with Wisteria Wonder reinker. The flowers are from the Upsy Daisy set and the sentiment is from my most used set ever, Sincere Salutations.
Peace and God’s love to the C & P families and friends.
