Wow, you were such a blessing to her in her time of need. I teared up as I read the last of the article, so touching!

Wow, I saw this listed on the 24th but didn't read it until today. And I am so thankful that I didn't read it til today because on the 24th Christmas Eve that was exactly one year ago since my dad past away and I was having a rough enough day as it was. Losing someone is always hard enough but at Christmas time just seems to make it so much harder. What you and your wife did was beyond words. I can imagine what impact your selfless act had on that family. I hadn't got my longarm yet when my dad past away, but I also do hand carved candles so I made hand carved candles for all of my brothers, sister, nieces, nephews and aunts and uncles that I gave them at dads funeral which was on New Years Eve (a year ago today). That was one of the hardest things that I have done - sitting there carving those candles and putting dads picture on them while the tears streamed down my face. I got my longarm in January just a few short weeks after dad past and my first project that I did was to get involved with quilting American Hero quilts for the military in Afghanastan. I quilted 82 quilts in 49 days in honor of what would have been my dads 82nd birthday. Each and every one of those quilts that I quilted help me with my grieving process as I was thinking of dad the whole time that I worked on them.

Your act of kindness will always be treasured not only by the people here but by one special lady in heaven. But I am sure you already know this.

Thanks,

I too loved watching Fons and Porter for years and knew about Liz's retirement. What an honor to have your story printed! I still have tears coming down my face...
Your story is what quilting is all about-it is the reason I started sewing so many years ago, and the reason I got started in quilting. Quilting-the telling of the story, and the giving behind it.
