Dear Leslie, Family and Friends,
This news about Bryan hit us hard too. We are so overwhelmed at this / your loss.
Bryan was a most welcomed customer of ours. We agree with George & Kim about the ” haggler ” part of Bryan, on price, that brought a smile into the day. When things got stressful at work we knew it was about time for Bryan to pop in and tell us some of his stories. 🙂
May our Heavenly Father give you strength as you go through this time.
Hold onto the smiles.
In Jesus’ name, Amen <3
