May GOD’s blessings, mercy, and peace wash over you and all of your loved ones during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones.
So sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
Mary, so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a horrible disease. Lost my Mom to cancer almost three years ago.
Mary, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers, that God will bring you comfort and peace in what I’m sure is a very difficult time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful sister-in law with us. I am sure she was an amazing woman who impacted the lives of many.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Hugs!
Oh Mary, so sorry to hear about Kris’s Mom. I so remember the “think pink”, and all the gorgeous cards that were made. Ah..gosh…my heart goes out to you all. Thanx for sharing. xoxo..Gina
So Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Mary, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like Karol was a courageous fighter. My prayers are with you and your family.
I pray you and Karol’s family are all comforted by God during this tough time. I’ve lost several friends and family members over the past 18 months to cancer and it is always devastating. God is good and He is near.
blessings,
barb
I send my condolences and prayers on your loss
Sorry to hear about your sister in law. I know all to well the effects this disease has on a person and their family. Prayers to the whole family! Oh, and very beautiful cards for a very important time.
Dear Mary: I am so very sorry for the loss of your sister in law. I just want you to know you and all your family are in our prayers.
Maria.
Mary, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Sister-in-law, Karol. Thank you for sharing your memories of her. She sounds like someone I would have loved to call friend. I lost a grandmother to breast cancer and one of my sister’s is a breast cancer survivor so I am very familiar with the devastation of this disease. I’m praying for God’s peace and comfort for you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear about your sister Mary. My condolences and prayers are with you and the family. Hugs.
I am very sorry for your loss. I’ve been following both blogs for awhile and was aware of her illness. Prayers go out to you, Kris and family.
So sorry I did not know of your loss. I noticed something about many of the photos you shared of the condolence cards you received – how many of them used retired sets. It’s interesting how when we are at a loss what to say or do, we revert back to some of our long-time comfortable and favorite images to share. I find myself doing the same thing.
So sorry to hear of your loss. My aunt fought a similar battle with breast cancer over twenty years ago and is one of reason I decided to become a scientist and study cancer research. I just wish the cure or better treatments for each type of cancer would be easier to figure out. My thoughts and prayers are with your and you family.
Mary,
It’s obvious how much Karol meant to you as a sister-in-law, and that is quite a tribute to her in itself. I’m so sorry to learn of her passing as I prayed she had it conquered. Have been remiss on keeping current with blog reading. I’ll keep you, Kris and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Keep the memories to help you through this difficult time!
Dearest Mary….So sorry to read about your family’s loss.
so sorry for your loss. here is a long distance hug!! i’ll keep you and your family in my prayers!
So sorry for your loss….her picture just radiates kindness and warmth and I can see why she was so loved. May the comfort of family and friends lift your spirits during this difficult time (((hugs))).
So sorry 🙁
Mary, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know you and your family are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you
Please know that many of us are thinking of and praying for you during this difficult time.
May the healing continue for all of you Mary. Looking at the picture of Karol, I could definitely recognize some of her beautiful features in Kris. Love and prayers to all of you.
I’m very sorry to hear about Karol — I’ve been delinquent with my blogs so I was out of touch. Karol sounded like a very special and beloved person and I’m sure she’ll be missed. My condolences to you and to Kris and to your families! The RAK cards you received are beautiful!
Mary, I add my prayers to those of your MANY internet friends. I am asking the Lord Jesus Christ to surround you and your extended family with a very REAL sense of His presence and love, where comfort resides.
You have not only thoughtful stamping friends, but talented ones as well. How comforting to receive such lovely cards.
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of you sister-in-law. I loss a cousing last month after a long struggle with cancer. May God be with you to comfort you and your family at this time of grief. LOL
I am so sorry for your loss. I too have lost Mother and Sister to this terrible cancer……..so with understanding I wish you well………pat
Mary… I’ve been thinking about you and praying for you and Kris and the rest of your family!
Mary, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your sister. The Lord bless and keep you and your family at this very painful time.
Sending you and your family prayers and sympathy. Your sister-in-law sounds like an amazing person and you have all been blessed to have had her in your lives. God bless you all.
Oh, Mary! The loss of a loved one is so hard. My heart and prayers go out to you for comfort during this time. Be very good to yourself, and to your husband. Let people “do” for you. Grief is exhausting, and you need to rest more than you realize. Many, many blessings.
Mary I am so sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. My prayer’s are with you and family.
May God continue to hold you and your
family in His arms as He helps you
