My Dear, Kind Friend

This week's 2 Sketches card has special meaning to me. I made it in memory of my friend and co-worker, Chuck, whose funeral was today. He was always smiling and never had an unkind word to say to anyone.

Chuck--my dear, kind friend--like the butterfly, I know you are soaring above us today on angel's wings.

Paper: PTI Sweet Blush, SEI Chocolat dp
Accessories: SEI Chocolat die cuts, PTI Sweet Blush ribbon, Chit Chat rub-ons (SU), rhinestones (The Paper Studio), dimensionals

I am so sorry to hear about your friend! I am sure he would have loved your card and what you had to stay about him.
Great colors Pink and butterflies are not usual Guy colors! But some how this works for a man!
I am sure Chuck knows he will never be forgotten!
