When I confronted my siblings about the condition of the gowns. They claimed that they didn't know where to buy new ones. I went to two different walmart and I discovered that they were closing their fabric department. The third store I went to still had lots of fabrics. I bought enough fabrics to make my Mom One gown for each day of the week. She wore them with pride and it made her very happy. Three years later she went to her eternal home. When people greeted me at her funeral service they would let me know how my mother made sure that everyone knew, that her daughter, had made her those beautiful gowns with happy colors. I brought those gowns with me when I came back to Tucson. Every time I see them I smile and I can still see her face beaming with joy. I cannot go to Walmart without visiting the fabric department. vangel in Tucson
What a beautiful story. My mom died 24yrs ago, but I can still see her making her gowns before she went into the hospital. My children have worn so many pajamas made with love from Walmart fabric. Maybe instead of sending petitions to Walmart Corp, we need to send stories like yours to remind them why their fabric dept is so important to us.
