Christmas - 6 days away

Amazing, just yesterday it felt like spring. Another year has gone by so fast. This has been a great year at Spectrum. We kicked it up big time with our wedding line. Not to mention we brought in a new gallery wrap line plus several new card designs. Im super excited for next year!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been in and out of the office all last week. My family received some bad news. My mother's sister passed away earlier this week. I have always looked up to my aunt Pat and her family. When we were young, Mike (Ross at the time), Jason, Andrew, Robbie, and the rest of the cousins would hike and play in the Wildcat Hills. We would dig huge underground forts into the side of canyons. It got pretty rough as well; someone was shot in the eye while playing BB gun wars. Man the memories.

Patty was a shining star for her family. My mother's family is so close and connected through their faith. Anytime they would get together they would laugh and share stories about their lives. I feel so honored to be a part of my family. We have a lot of love. Patty would always have a smile on her face. The past 6 months she has battled cancer. Patty gave it her all and fought for herself and family. It was a good fight. I will never forget her beauty and that great loving smile. She gave my family so much love and I will miss her dearly. I am so empathetic to Mike and Jason. We love you guys!

We will miss you dearly. Thank you for being a part of our lives for 65 years!
