Mojo 177 & Bugaboo Anything Goes

Mojo 177
I made a sympathy card for a co-worker that had her father pass away.  This is the second sympathy card for a father in the past month, which is concerning.  Another co-worker left to go check on her father who is having some health issues and he is 90 years old so there is some concern there also.  I don't like this theme.
