Hi Lori,
I hope you and your family enjoyed a nice holiday weekend. It was such a pleasure meeting you in Charlotte last week. I felt so comfortable meeting you and knowing that you would give new life to a very important heirloom. I am thrilled to know that my Mom will be able to enjoy it in a new form while she is still alive and then hopefully it will come to me and be passed down in the future. What a special person you are to share your skill and your passion in such a meaningful way.

"Little Teddy is home"
Hi Lori,
The smile says it all. (See photo above). His name is "Little Teddy" which may not sound very original but nonetheless very significant. My late father's name is Ted Albert Jones. Since he gave her the stole on their first Christmas together she felt it was the only name appropriate. She loves the bear. You have touched our hearts with your talent and I am so grateful to have met you.
There are several friends who have asked for your website information so don't be surprised if you get some requests who somehow heard about you through "Little Teddy's" family.
Thank you again and God Bless you...
Steve J.
Lori,
Thanks so much for all the work you put into the bears, just love them. We know we didn't give you the best material to work with, but they bring back a lot of wonderful memories.
Take care, hope things continue to go well for you, we will make sure we recommend you if anyone has any furs they're not sure what to do with.
Thanks again,
Barbara M.

Hi Lori,
I just wanted to let you know how much I love the bears - I meant to email you earlier (I can't remember if I did )
I hid them in my closet and I'm in the process of wrapping Christmas gifts, which served as a reminder. I'm sure my daughter and 2 nieces are going to love them as much as I do - they are so well made and will help keep my mom's memory alive every time I look at mine.
This is our first Christmas without her and this bear will be such a comfort - something tangible to hold that was a part of my mom's - the stole was very dear to her when she received it from my dad. I remember going to a department store with him when I was a young girl and helping him pick it out. I just wanted to express my gratitude - you've given us a warm and loving memory of both my mom and dad.
Merry Christmas to you and your family - God Bless.

Lori, I don't know how to thank you for the extra care that you took with my order. The bears are absolutely gorgeous. They arrived today about 6:00pm. I immediately took them out of the plastic and found homes for my three. I had problems deciding which color I liked the best-still can't decide. The dedication to detail is amazing. I will definitely mention the quality of your work to all my friends. Thank you again for a superior job.

Hi, Lori,
Received the bears on Christmas Eve Day, and was able to give them to my niece's daughters today. They were thrilled with them.
My husband was very impressed with your work and the results. If you happen to have any fur left (and there is enough) from my mother's coat and stole, he would like me to order 2 more bears. Please let me know if that is possible.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and that the New Year will bring happiness and joy.

Good morning, Lori
Just wanted to let you know that I received the bears this week, and they are absolutely adorable. Both Dale and I are so happy with them, and, as with the others, we are receiving lots of compliments. Of course, I tell them about you and give your website address. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for perserving a part of my mother's life for future generations of our family. She would be so happy!

I LOVE the bears! My mom LOVES her bear - she recognized daddy's shirt immediately and, of course the rest of the story is an emotional mess, but nonetheless - we are so happy to have these precious keepsakes.
Thank you so much for your delicate mannerism, your complete understanding of the situation and your flexible expertise. It was a pleasure to work with you, I'm SO happy I found you! Take care and good luck to you - keep up the beautiful work!

Hi Lori- oh, SHE looks gorgeous... & such "attitude" just like my Mom! :-)
Thank you soooo much for wielding your magic wand/gift on Mom's mink... I know she would love the fact that it will still be here with us ;-) - Carol W
[I'm so glad you're pleased! I was aiming for a sad, pouty look but she insisted on a "hmpff" expression...if you know what I mean. Did your Mom have that "it's my way or no way" or, "just try to challenge me" attitude? Sometimes the bear's spirit just takes over, despite my efforts to change it. - Lori]
Thanks again Lori- your comments were "priceless"... Since Mom was a Redhead her attitude was more like "go ahead challenge me, I've been around longer than all of you & know what is right"...she would say it like it was :-)
My husband said I should print this all out so our kids can appreciate what you said about her "spirit"...
-Carol W.
