So sad the family has to bear such tragedy. Thoughts & prayers to them. RIP, what a nice honor quilt for them to cherish. It must have been difficult for you to make. God Bless you

Oh dear GOD my heart goes out to the family, that is a very nice quilt you made her. I made one from a good friends husband's clothes last year, and she is dying now from the same kind of cancer Lung Cancer from years and years of smoking.

Such a sad and touching story. What a blessing that the family got to speak with him and have him home! The quilt is such a treasure.

What a tragic story. I'm sure as they go through the grief process, your quilt will provide them with comfort. My prayers go out to the entire family. Hugs!
