Sympathy-- A little different style

A dear friend of mine has just passed this week leaving behind a wife a teenage daughter. It was a complete shock to everyone!!! Which sometimes I think makes it harder...
Rob was not the sorrowful kind of person. We always celebrated the life our friends lived with Rob not mourned for the life passed. So it felt wrong to me to do a sad and sappy sympathy card for his wife and daughter...
This is what I came up with:

The inscription inside talks about how our lives are like a book; how he played a role in my story; how his story will keep being written by those left behind; and how sad it is his book ended so soon.

I hope I did justice to what was in my head and heart for this man and his family!!

Supplies used:
Ching Chou Kuik- Lil Bookworm Fairy digi colored with copics
