My heart was heavy when I heard the news that one of my close family friends lost his beloved wife, Sharla, early yesterday morning while they were on a family vacation to go to Disneyland. She passed away suddenly in her sleep and her poor husband is now left with their five young children, 3 girls ages five and under, and twin baby boys only seven months old. I can't begin to imagine the heartache and grief they are experiencing. I couldn't stop thinking about what a huge void her passing is in this sweet family.
A
memorial fundraiser has been set up on behalf of the family in order help with funeral costs and to try and ease the burden that is now on the shoulders of this young husband. In order to help promote and raise funds for this important cause, I am doing a giveaway one of my
Lavender Striped Boyfriend Cardigans.
