This card is for Beverly McNary, she is our dear friend Kathy Krug's sister.

Kathy passed away suddenly on Monday of this week.

Although, like so many others, I never met Kathy in person, but had become such good online friends with her.  We all met back on the old Stamp TV website aka Gina K Designs, many, many years ago.

She was a generous soul and wildly talented.  If you ever saw her creations you know she made the most beautiful flowers for her cards, I always referred to her as 'the paper gardener'.  

Kathy always had a kind word to say and she will be missed by many.

I still can't believe she is gone but I do take care in the fact
that she has been reunited with her dear hubby, Steve.

Thanks for strolling by.

I appreciate you all and our friendship!

xoxo
