You are without doubt, the best in the business. You brought a smile to this grieving mother’s face! Don’t stop doing what you do!! The family will enjoy this for many years in the future. We appreciate you.
Oh my goodness! Worth the wait...they are beautiful. I am crying they are so wonderfully made. You sent me back the scraps, and I am going to send you another set to do the same bears with just different material. Thank you for giving me back just a piece of my son..I know it is just his clothing, but I know you know how much this means..thank you a million times over....you are amazing.

I am beyond happy with the bear you created for my daughter in honor of her son that we lost all to soon. Thank you so very much, Tammy! The bear is just perfect! When I first looked at this bears eyes, I truly felt love! The packaging was an added special touch! Thank you Tammy, for such an amazing keepsake. God Bless you!
Couldn't be happier with Nana's memory bear!!!! Best made bear I've ever seen. I was excited that the arms and legs moved but had no idea the head moved as well!!!! What a great way for my son to remember his Nana!!! It's a shirt we saw her wear all the time and my son says it still smells like her. Can't thank Tammy enough.
