And can't say enough thank you's to nurses, aides, doctors, Hospice and more that helped take care of Mom and our family.

I used the Freshly Made Sketch#211 here. And paired that with the Splitcoast Color Challenge#555 here. The colors to use are Soft Suede, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry. I think it's a little sign from Mom in heaven that she's looking over me because purple was her favorite color! Love you Mom!
