More of a friend than a client. Such a sweet man. Prayers for the family. May he RIP.
Dear Lisa,
We send you our sincere sympathies during this dark time. We wish we could do more than that.
Love from Brad & Jamie
I’m sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Although I only met him briefly, through your Mom,whom I was lucky enough to share a friendship, his humor and welcoming character is what I remember.
Anne was bright and talented. I loved sharing classes with her at Artful Hands. I have a lovely rug on a chair back, never the floor!, displayed in my living room. I think of Anne often with a smile.
We were lucky enough to share a special vacation with John and Anne to Vietnam and Cambodia and have remained in contact ever since. They will both be missed.
Our sincere condolences to all the family.
