Your quilt is beautiful and I am sorry for the loss of your brother so recently (and your other siblings as well). I think the sentiment on the label is such a thoughtful idea. Sure to be appreciated.

Your quilt is a lovely tribute to your brother and a wonderful gift to ease your sister's suffering. I am sorry to hear of your loss and hopefully the New Year will be better.

I can feel your pain. In 2011 I had a bad accident in February on the ice, lost my oldest sister March 1, went into the hospital March 11, went into the hospital again in November and lost my younger brother 11/30. He was only 66. This was almost as bad as when we lost both of our parents in 1986 and buried them just 16 days apart. They were only 68. But GOD always makes a way and finishing this quilt was a form of healing for me. Thanks for all the kind words.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. What a wonderful reason to complete the quilt. Darien is blessed to be able to wrap up in his uncle's love thanks to you. God Bless you and your family.
