Sympathy cards are a part of the cycle of life. Sometimes there is joy and sometimes there is sadness in this cycle. This morning we received the sad news that the beautiful light that was my husband’s grandmother Gladys has passed on.
Many times the card pattern above has crossed by Pinterest path and though I have wanted to make my own version many times because I love the simple beauty of the design it just never seemed like the right moment. Until now. Should you need to mourn the sunset of a loved one’s life I share the details below.
