On Christmas Day of 2022, my best friend and husband passed away unexpectedly and suddenly from cardiac arrest. Then, in February and April of Spring 2023, both of my parents passed away—also unexpectedly. To say the last year and a half has been difficult would be an understatement.

Our four adult children (21,23,24,26) have had to navigate life without their main cheerleader and best Dad. He was our entire world, and it’s been SO hard figuring out life without him with us. We had no idea how large the hole would be so we’ve counted on each other to do all the things he did for us — and we have certainly fallen short most days, but he taught us well and we’re still standing after all the grief of losing him.

With the death of my husband came the realization of what would I do for a job. I can do a lot of things but my health has gotten in the way so it’s been with lots of effort and study to decide what would work best for my health and making an income — now that it’s just me.

My garage is being turned into a Grooming Salon for pets and I’m hoping that you’d find it in your heart to help me get started. You’ve no idea how much I would appreciate your love and support.

Life can turn on a dime, I know all too well, but I’m ready to face the future and enjoy this new adventure. I’m so excited to get started and with your help I’ll be able to do that. ♥️

With so much gratitude and love,

Thank you all so much.
