T he Peony Garden Suite lends itself well for a sympathy card. The flowers are so beautiful when stamped and the heartfelt sentiments express your support in times of loss. Any loss is difficult and sometimes we may not be able to be there to help heal the hearts of our friends and loved ones but a card can let them know we are thinking of them.
