Many believe a cardinal symbolizes a visit from a loved one who has passed. Here With Us Cardinal Ornament reads: Always missed, but never forgotten. Hang this handmade ornament as a reminder that the people no longer here on Earth continue to be with us in spirit. Handpainted and laser-cut by artisans in Colombia, the detailed red cardinal perches on a beautiful birch tree. The back of the ornament is blank, a perfect place for a personal message, a handwritten note.
