Sympathy card with HokieBird as a phoenix, C02245 (Ms2008-020)

Sympathy card contains a drawing of the HokieBird as a phoenix rising out of ashes over the date "4.16.07" next to what is presumably the artist's signature [illegible].

 

Next to the head of the HokieBird are the words, "We will carry them with us, in our hearts, Forever."

 

Next to the bottom of the HokieBird are the words,
