This post does not come easy. Last week we lost a huge piece of our hearts. Sarah lost her Dad, Jimmy lost his best friend, Chance, Jade & Sierra lost their PopPop and Sebastian, his Great PopPop.
He loved to come to the store and visit. He got to know so many of you and called you friends. He cherished the chats and times together. And...if you had good timing, you got to enjoy a bite of the black walnut cake and sugar cookies that he made every Christmas.
His smile and laughter gave happiness.
His love, gave peace.
His hugs, gave comfort.
His words, gave knowledge.
His handshake, gave respect.
He lived his life full of Jesus, family and friends.
So now as you go through your day to day.... be sure to give a smile, shake a hand and treat others how you want to be treated.
Why? Because my Daddy said so and he was the smartest and most wonderful man I will ever know!
(In the meantime....please be patient with us..as we are going thru quite a bit right now)
