My sister, Carol, who lived in Iowa, passed away unexpectantly last month.  

It was a shocking loss to say the least.  

I made this card for her eldest daughter, Robyn, my Niece.

These are the most difficult cards to create yet are the ones we need the most, 

especially when it is your very own loved one.  

I hope it conveyed a bit of what we all are feeling.
