They proceeded to celebrate "his" holiday and I gave the wall hanging to his wife, as I had made it for them both. She was very pleased with the gift.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your neighbor. The wall hanging is awesome. I'm sure that he would of loved it. I do. You did a great job on it. I'm glad his wife liked it.
