Always with you

 Before we left for Michigan we found out that my brother in law was going on hospice, his lung cancer had come back and was now in his bones, he opted for no more treatments. I sent this card to him. I found these die cut images at Hobby lobby and thought they would be great for thinking of you cards, they don't put names on their die cuts, but they have some pictures on the back of the packaging to give you an idea of what is inside.   

Sad news is that he passed away a week after we saw him. I am so glad we had the time to stop in and see him before we left Michigan. He was in good spirits and was laughing and joking with us, great way to remember him :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, 

Connie

Heartfelt and comforting — the soft vintage pieces create a gentle, thoughtful design, and the vellum accents add beautiful warmth. My sincere heartfelt condolences on the passing of your brother‑in‑law. Your card carries such tenderness, and the memory you shared of his laughter is a truly precious one.
