Blessings to you both.

Hard to see keyboard with tears in eyes. Thanks for sharing this story! God bless you both for being such wonderful people.

Thank you. This was an amazing thing.

I changed the title of the movie and song the Christmas Shoes to the Christmas Quilts. I am still crying and that was 5 pages ago. God bless you two. Merry Christmas.

You are very special. Your story was wonderful. Merry Christmas.

oh my what a beautiful story I lost my mom last year on the 20th and she was buried on christmas eve so it has kinda ruff today but knowing I am not alone

You have both well and truly earned your "angel wings." What a beautiful gift you gave to the family. I cried tears of joy upon reading. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope the joy you have given returns to you as you surely are deserving of it. God Bless.

Tears, yes, but joyful tears. May we all be blessed by your story Dave. Hopefully, we will be inspired to do something like this for someone else. You know what, I think we do... Think of all the quilters on here who do so much for others... military and family issues. Yes, Quilters are wonderful!!!!! May this new year find us all blessed.

WOW how special are you. Good to know that there are persons like you. Thanks for sharing

this truly is the meaning of Christmas - thank you from my heart to yours!

Quilts comfort and heal. What a beatuiful story, Dave. You and Jane were a blessing to Liz's family. The finished quilts are treasures and a tribute to the maker.

You are such a wonderful person. This loving story has warmed my heartstrings, especially today, Christmas day that I am reading it. Bless you and your family for your kindness and generosity in everything that truly counts. You have a beautifull heart.

You two were Liz's angels. She knew you were there to fulfil her last wishes on earth. Bless you.

Love....what an amazing thing it is...like a stone thrown into still water it ripples out far beyond the starting point. Thank you for sharing this experience, beautifully expressed and so keenly felt by us all.

What an incredible and moving story. I know that God will bless you for all that you have done for her and her family. That is what love is all about. God bless you.

WOW what a story and how special it was for you to work so hard for a customer and know her wishes so well..A bond we form with our customers after awhile. Thanks for your kindness and compassion and for a loving story.

WOW!!!!!!!! What a wonderful story. Liz and her family got a Christmas Miracle. How lucky for you to be a part of it.

Love the story. I'm mopping up my face now. What kindness to the family.

Beautiful story. Tears in my eyes, too.

sniff... I'm so glad no one can see me right now... I literally had tears streaming down my face, what a moving story.

It was a wonderful thing you did for Liz. But, I am so sad that she passed away, I didn't know. She was a big part of my love of quilts. Since 2003. I am still not any good, but she will be sadly missed by all the quilting world.

see now this is what i need to hear!! people that are still humane and know the true reason for the season!!! the selfish, materialistic people i have been dealing with on a daily basis are beating down my Christmas spirit...thank you.

Tears came while I was reading this.A lot of love went into those quilts. God Bless!!

What a touching story! Bless you Dave and Jane!

Thank you- thank you, thank you. Quilters are such wonderful folks!

oh, my ... <wave>

that is the sadist story i have ever heard ,i am still crying you and your wife are special people

So glad that was shared with us - beautiful - very touching!!!!

OK whos got the tissues Pass the box.

Bless you for your caring and loving hearts. During your busiest time of the year, you went above and beyond for someone you felt was a good customer and friend, without knowing the urgency, and it speaks volume about the kind of folks you are...Good people. Thank you for sharing, I still have tears in my eyes. You have made it possible for your friend to leave a wonderful legacy to comfort and warm her family.

That is a amazing story!!! Thank you so very much!!!

I pray that God blesses you for this enormous gift to this family. Just reading this story is a gift to me. Thank you.

Wow, you were such a blessing to her in her time of need. I teared up as I read the last of the article, so touching!

Wow, I saw this listed on the 24th but didn't read it until today. And I am so thankful that I didn't read it til today because on the 24th Christmas Eve that was exactly one year ago since my dad past away and I was having a rough enough day as it was. Losing someone is always hard enough but at Christmas time just seems to make it so much harder. What you and your wife did was beyond words. I can imagine what impact your selfless act had on that family. I hadn't got my longarm yet when my dad past away, but I also do hand carved candles so I made hand carved candles for all of my brothers, sister, nieces, nephews and aunts and uncles that I gave them at dads funeral which was on New Years Eve (a year ago today). That was one of the hardest things that I have done - sitting there carving those candles and putting dads picture on them while the tears streamed down my face. I got my longarm in January just a few short weeks after dad past and my first project that I did was to get involved with quilting American Hero quilts for the military in Afghanastan. I quilted 82 quilts in 49 days in honor of what would have been my dads 82nd birthday. Each and every one of those quilts that I quilted help me with my grieving process as I was thinking of dad the whole time that I worked on them.

Your act of kindness will always be treasured not only by the people here but by one special lady in heaven. But I am sure you already know this.

Thanks,
Sherryl

you were truly a blessing to this family, thank you for your love and compassion to others.

Your story put tears in my eyes. Thank you for being a blessing to others who needed the comfort at such a busy time of the year. Your kindness will be noted by many.

Dave, you and yout wife are such blessed people to have been involved in this "Love Story". This is indeed the true meaning of Christmas and both of you are Christmas Angels.

I too loved watching Fons and Porter for years and knew about Liz's retirement. What an honor to have your story printed! I still have tears coming down my face...
Your story is what quilting is all about-it is the reason I started sewing so many years ago, and the reason I got started in quilting. Quilting-the telling of the story, and the giving behind it.

What a touching Christmas Story. She must have been a wonderful mother! And a very special friend she had...the two of you. God bless you both....now I need to find a hand towel...can not stop crying! Darn hormones!
