In Memory Of

[Nickel Falls]

I haven't been on much lately.

As some of you may know, my wife died suddenly last week. 

With the help of patterns by Botas Helder, I finally made it out to the shop yesterday to cut a couple portraits of her for the memorial service today.

Her name is Connie, and I hope you see the likeness

First, my condolences on the sudden loss of your beautiful wife. My prayers for you and your family as you grieve and process your loss. Second, you did excellent work in creating your patterns and cutting them to honor her not only at her memorial service, but to be treasured for years to come in remembering her and your life together. The fact that you were able to create and cut them so quickly even amidst your grief is a tribute to the love you shared.

So sorry for your loss and my prayers will be that you find comfort in your memories with Connie. There is no doubt the two projects will be recognized by all that they are your lovely wife. Peace be with you, friend.

Like everyone prior, my greatest sympathies on the loss.

I don't know that I would have been able to make the cuts you did and I admire the abilities of you and the designer.

Best wishes

So sorry for your loss mate. Connie looks like a lovely lady. Your cutting is a fitting tribute to her.

I'm so sorry to hear that Chuck. Connie's surely had a beautiful smile and you captured it well. I went to your profile page and we have a bit in common. My name is Charlie and a few have called me Chuck over the years. My wife's name is Connie, and I was born a few days after you on October 18, 1960. Funny that little things like that can make this kind of thing hit closer to home. Know that someone in Alabama's thinking of you and said a prayer for you.

So sorry for your loss my friend!
