Condolence card
This evening I did an unusual layout. I called my Grandma today and she told me that one of her dearest friends had suddenly died. He was 86 and had lived a rich and fulfilled life, especially the last 10 years where he fell in love with my Grandma's best girl-friend. They were so cute together. I won't be able to go to his funeral, because they live on the other side of Germany, so I will send her a card. The condolence cards you can buy are either very religious (which I'm not) or boring, so I decided to make one myself.

your sympathy card is very beautiful, and the saying is very appropriate.
That saying is so profound. WOW. Is it a quote or is it your original? I find it so true.
Beautiful card.
Oh my God, that is amazingly beautiful and so very heartfelt. The picture is stunning, perfect. I hope your card will help the family to heal. It's from the heart.

Ich habe schon immer mal nach einer Erklaerung gesucht, die den Tod eines geliebten beschreibt. Ja, der Tod ist ein Teil des Lebens, es tut dennoch verdammt weh, jemanden zu verlieren! Absolutely love this page!!!
This is simply beautiful and so loving.
Sorry for your loss. This is so profound!!! My friend was killed on saturday (hit and run). He was only 20 years old and just starting life. Thank you for sharing.
