Deepest Sympathy

I really struggle with sympathy cards.  I spend forever trying to get the details 'just right'.  A friend of ours just lost her Mom to cancer.  The funeral is this Saturday - the day before Mother's Day.   My heart breaks for her and her family.  I hope this card will adequately express the sorrow we are feeling for them. 

I used this week's sketch from Chupa's Sketchbook Saturday challenge.

Materials Used (all Close to My Heart):
Bliss Level 2 Paper Pack
Treasure Life stamp set
Card Chatter - Sympathy stamp set
Mocha Opaques Gems
Chocolate Button
Chocolate Waxy Flax
Colonial White Organdy Ribbon with Satin Trim
Ink: Chocolate
Cardstock: Colonial White, Chocolate, Bamboo
