I can’t believe we are smack dab in a new decade! We grabbed at life the past 10 years knowing the fleeting nature of existence. Marla had gone through so much with earlier cancer treatments (multiple surgeries, stem cell transplant, radiation, & high-dose chemo) and almost counter-intuitively, she worked even harder in our business and experiencing this amazing world with gusto! I am in awe of her fortitude, strength, and focus! The 2010 image above is of our grandsons at one of our fabric line showings at Wesco Fabrics.
