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.

    So hard when someone you work with passes. You have to keep going to work, and it makes you keep being sad for a while. Great way to use your craft to help!
