I am late in reading the blog but feel this particular event is one I feel especially close to. My husband, Marvin, died of Pancreatic cancer 8 years ago and indeed the cards were comforting to both of us and they still are. I kept every one I received and reread them often.
As a matter of fact, on his death date of March 11 I reread those cards which once again brought me comfort.
They remind me of how dear our families, friends, coworkers, students, church and communtiy members were. The cards are still meaningful. Yes, people in all conditions need the comfort offered by cards and not just ones from family but from others lets a person know they are not alone and are being prayed for, thought of, and comforted by many. I loved and continue to love Marvin with all my heart and am blessed by all those who thought of us at this most difficult time.
Thank you to everyone who sends cards you are true humanitarians and caring and compassionate people.
Here are a few pictures of this wonderful husband, father, son, uncle and friend.

Thank you. He was a very special and kind person. He was devoted to his special students and made sure they reached their greatest potential. I appreciate your kind words and thoughts.
Hope you are feeling better. Miss you!
