My very sweet friend, Millie, lost her son to a long-term illness a few weeks ago.  This was the card I made for her to express my sympathy for her loss.

We became friends when Millie, her daughter and son-in-law started coming to our Mah Jongg group at our local senior center some years ago.  She is a bit famous there and in our county senior network because she will be celebrating her 102nd. birthday in a couple of months.  She is cute as a button, dresses like a fashion diva and is always smiling and warm.  You can’t let that fool you, though, because she will beat the pants off of you at Mah Jongg!!

I have decided that Millie’s longevity and sparkle is due to the fact that she makes her own wine at home and has a small glass every evening.  She says that the key to a good life is never holding a grudge.  I think I hang on to the wine idea because the other would be so much harder for me to do!

Miss Millie is an elegant woman and I wanted to make a card for her that reflected that.  I hope I have achieved that goal.  She tells me she frames my cards and hangs them so I have to be on my toes when I make a card for this dear lady!  Blessings and hugs, Millie…
