Thinking of You + Deepest Sympathy

Sympathy cards are the hardest to make ...... especially when they are for family & friends .....

It just goes to show how small the world is, Adelaide in particular!  

My Nephew married the Niece of an old school friend, Rossi, so I always maintained that it made us 'Aunties In-Laws'  LOL

We all went to Taperoo Primary School and here is a photo from our very first School Reunion in 2010 - in the Barossa

LtoR Front:  Di, Sharlene, Rossie
Back:  Anne, Diana, Me, Bronny, Kaye

and one of our School Reunions in 2012 in Victor Harbor ....

LtoR: Debbie, JulieO, Me, Rossi, DebbieC, Sharlene, Anne, Diana, Bronny

it seems like they were yesterday and forever ago .... both at the same time :(

Here we are in 2022 (those that could attend the funeral)
LtoR:  Me, DebbieC, Kaye, JulieR

RIP Roslyn Margaret Harrison - no longer in pain, reunited with loved ones.

  4. So sorry for your loss...both cards are just beautiful! That butterfly image is such a sweet one, really great for any type of card, but extra-special for a sympathy. Perfect for our Tic Tac Toe challenge too, so happy you could play along, as well as sharing it with us at Retro Rubber!

  5. Both cards a beautiful Cathy and such a lovely way to celebrate a life well lived. I love the effect of the black image against the sponged panel and the touches of shimmer to the butterfly on the purple one - so effective. Thanks for playing over at TicTacToe this week!
