Facebook Twitter GoogleSorry to hear of your loss Shane. Your mother was the first person to purchase furniture off me when I opened Best Home Furnishings. I don’t think she really needed the chest she purchased that day. I think she just did it to help me. It was my Grand opening and Lazy Boy never showed up and my store was pretty empty. She was the only person who purchased anything that day. I remember she hugged me and said you will do great Ron. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Facebook Twitter GoogleShane, This is very sad news to see this evening. Bea & I became good friends when she was selling & buying another home. She made me the cutest basket & I’ll forever treasure it. She was so proud of you. She was an amazing & loving lady. I’ve thought of you both so many times. Many prayers, my friend.
