This Post is Dedicated to Jacqui McNeil

 We, at The Digi Garden, got the most terrible news yesterday.

The creator and owner, Jacqui McNeil passed away suddenly.

She's been ill in the last while but we never dreamed she would be taken from us.

I am so sorry for her family. She will be missed by her loved ones and also by the crafting world.

She was an awesome artist and creator. I am so sad today and just couldn't move on with my day until I honored her with a card.

 Although it's difficult today

To see beyond the sorrow,

May looking back in memory

Help comfort you tomorrow
