I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so glad that you were able to give her some comfort as her journey progressed, and now her loved ones have something to hold and wrap them in love as you grieve.
Your work is beautiful and you were so thoughtful and encouraging for DSIL ... well done.
Prayers for your healing and hugs for strength to move forward. You are not alone. Please share with your family/her family how many are wishing God's blessing on them for today and forward.

Angie,
I feel your loss, but remain strong and know that you have beautiful memories to go with those pictures. Smile for the momories and the footsteps and love she left upon your heart. My tears I shed are for you and all those that we have lost in recent times as well in the past. I am truly sorry for your loss,

Hugs to you
Justme

I can tell you though, that the hand made gifts you gave her meant the world to her. I have a friend whose birthday was yesterday. I have usually only given her a card, but on two occasions, I came up with home made gifts. Both times (4 years apart) she toted them around with her to brag about them and show them to other friends.

The love you put into your beautiful quilt and poncho, I'm sure were treasured. Cherish your memories.

God bless you.

Well magiebooboo, all I can say is do that whenever you can while she is still here. I do cherish the memories with her we knew each other since elementary school and became close at age fifteen. Lots of memories... Thank you for your kind words and God bless you.

Sew sorry for your loss. As long as you have good thoughts about what you did for her and the beautiful things you made for her, keep her with you and rejoice in having that good friend in your life. God is good.

Such special gifts you gave your SIL and yourself. She left you a lot of lovely memories wrapped up in those works of love ya know. It's ok to miss her...but its also ok to smile at the memories you have in your heart :) Big Hugs!!
