BEAR-Y nice surprise!!!!..THANK YOU!!!

Ok.. Where do I start to write about these bears?.. They are absolutely adorable and made with so much LOVE….

I remember I packed Dave’s dry cleaning in a bag that day on Monday the 21st of April… (the day of his emergency) for him to drop off at work for cleaning…. Usually you get them back in a few days… well.. Dave never got to pick them up. They were delivered to Joanne’s office and then a few days later to Randy (Dave’s best buddy and childhood friend got them to bring home to me)… But Randy never brought them by the house?… I wasn’t sure I was ready to see them yet anyways among other things… but he kept them … and there is is a good reason why I never got them back…. Until now……



…Dave’s shirts were cut up and made into beautiful keepsakes by Randy's wife’s mom Mrs. Lasbury… this is Randy's mother in-law….she has an incredible sewing talent and Marybeth and her came up with this brilliant idea to make bears out of Dave’s shirts for my children… it was so touching… and I thank you for being able to do that… she patch worked his blue dress shirts.. That is Dave’s color!… he loves blue.. And all that he owns is typically blue.. These bears turned out adorable.. As you can see the cuffs and buttons were used to make each one of these bears unique for the kids…the buttons for the eyes.. and collars and vest and bows were made from one random colored green shirt he owned..

These amazing bears will forever be loved and cherished… what a wonderful keepsake for my children to remember their Dad by... Thank you Marybeth and Mrs. Lasbury…. And THANK YOU MARYBETH for the delivery that night before school started.. a piece of Dave was back with us .. WE just LOVE THEM and we LOVE YOU GUYS! XOXOXO
