This beach scene is in honor of Ed. Please read Injured Soldier. I have never had a more difficult time deciding what words to use on a card. What can you say to someone so young who gave so much for the freedom we celebrate today. Yvonne, your family is in my prayers- always.
I hope you are touched by Ed's story and can send a card today.
Thanks for looking.

Pat, As You said, "It's hard to put into words"... how to say how incredible this card is...brought tears to my eyes, and also to Cherie's eyes (she is sitting at the computer with me) and also looking at this card. Cherie had asked Cindy if cards could be sent to Ed...for his comfort. Thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts for this thoughtful so appropriate card...You truly make cards from your heart.

Wow, this is an amazing card! Love the sand paper and the netting. It's truly a great scene...it really does take you to place of tranquility and I'm sure Ed will appreciate it. Thanks for bringing his story to light, especially today.

Such a beautiful and calming card for this young soldier who has given so much. You have shown him the beauty of the sea and sky, and the gentle breezes, blowing the sand. Hope your card brings some Peace as he faces a future so different than what he expected life to be. My prayers to him and to his family, wife, and family to be. May God bless you, Ed!
Bless your heart for crafting this beautiful card for him! lymi!
