Through the last few months I have enjoyed making a variety of fascinating memory bears. When they reached their new homes, or halfway houses in many cases, I received the most heartwarming responses. With their permission, I am sharing some of those comments with you.
The majority of these were made from treasured garments; however when none are available we can choose an appropriate fabric, and make it an heirloom with the addition of actual photos of your special people. Not only was the workmanship made with love, but each bear had my Dad’s photo on the vest, His name "Big Ed" and a wonderful Tag that told us about the Big Ed Bear and a saying from his obituary card I had special made for him. That was all added touches that I did not expect and it made me cry. They are awesome! Words can not express how your bears took this sad Christmas and gave us the special gift of holding Dad again when we hug our bears. We are very proud to have the Big Ed Bear be a part of your beary special family. I did not expect all the added touches and the quality of your work was just totally awesome. I can not wait to give them out. I love them. Love, Deb Keegan ~~~~~ Denise, the bears came this morning in the mail and they are absolutely wonderful. I love them. You did a fantastic job considering the challenges of the fabric. I can't tell you how special they are and will be treasured always. Donna ~~~ They are WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how much I love them. And the picture on the inside of the vest is wonderful. We are trying to have things that help these two little boys remember who Grandpa, Aunt Becca and Auntie Anna were. You are providing a tool to help us in our healing and grieving. Jayne ~~~ I can not say thank you enough. You have a talent that my family will treasure forever. Patti~~~ You really did do a wonderful job in making the memory bears come to life. If only for a glimmering moment we felt the love and memory of those we love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you...I will look forward to seeing Wool N Bear and Flora Jean on your website. Sylvia ~~~ That little bear has done a lot for me. Just to see "her" sitting there reminding me of the old times brings a smile.....Thanks........Barbara ~~~ Dear Denise, I just received my bears and as I opened the box the tears, of course, came. They both are wonderful and say (my husband) to me when I look at them. They are too cute and make me smile. Denise, you have been given an extraordinary talent and I thank you for using it to help comfort those who have lost their loved ones. These bears are so loved and I can tell by the great workmanship of each one that they were loved as they were being made. You can be assured that the two Bears will always be well loved. My husband was a terrific man and is so missed by all of his family. Besides being a loving husband, he was a father, a son, a brother, uncle to many nieces and nephews and a good friend to many people. Thank you very much for making these bellybutton bears. I may write back someday when another bear is needed to comfort one of my loved ones. Please continue to make these bears to love and comfort their owners. [DH] ~~~ We have received the bear and she is an absolute treasure. She is so beautiful; it was love at first sight. She currently sits on a wall shelf in my niece’s room. I placed her high on the wall because our dog – Peter Henry had his eyes on her! Peter-Henry is a Jack Russell Terrier and an absolute nut!
