My blog is called "Creative Smiles" because my designs are the result of incorporating mistakes. With fumble fingers that drop whatever they are holding - repeatedly, it takes a lot of giggles, smiles and creative patience during my crafting process. xx

Begging For Help Please

Daily Updates are shown in the tab above called "Jerry's Updates".

Jerry passed away on Monday, June 13, 2016, at 4:30PM.

Thank you to all who made his final days more bearable. He felt loved and cared for, and appreciated your artwork very much. Helen also appreciates each and every card. She treasures them and is planning on keeping them and looking through them many times in coming days.

We cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will continue posting your cards in the tab above as Helen provides your names and will try to reciprocate with cards as time permits.

love,
de

Hallo liebe Donna,

ich bin traurig zu lesen das dein Schwager so krank ist.
Leider schaffe ich es nicht mehr eine Karte zu schicken da ich in einigen Tagen selbst zur Rehabilitation komme.
Meine Gedanken und Gebete sind bei dir und deiner Familie. Ich wünsche von Herzen das er ganz viel Post bekommt um die letzten Stunden seines Lebens mit Freude zu füllen.
Ganz liebe Knuddelgrüße Hugs & Kisses Silvi

I somehow missed this post as I have not been regular with blogging. Helen is so blessed to have you do such a kind deed. I went through the post and realized what a challenging time it was. Grateful for the love he received in the last few days. What a thoughtful way to lighten someone's load in their few last days...

Lots of love,

Monica
