The bear came back, and it looks excellent! Better than anything in a store. My 90 year old mother passed away last April. Her grandson (my nephew) and his wife were expecting a baby in November. My mother was looking forward to seeing her great-granddaughter, which obviously didn't get to happen. While cleaning out her closet, I found one of her favorite sweaters that she often wore. After checking to be sure that my sister didn't want it, I sent it in to have a Memory Bear made of it. It arrived a few weeks later - and my mother's great-grand daughter arrived a couple of weeks after that! Interestingly, the teddy bear even has the smell of my mother's perfume on it! So in a few weeks, the memory bear will be the baby's gift from her great-grandmother; Omi!
Thanks for a GREAT JOB!
This difficult process was met with the most efficient and considerate staff! The reality of being in a position to want a memory bear in itself was almost heartbreaking to think about. I tearfully parted with five items of my son's at the post office. I got a reassuring text a few days later that his items had been received. That was so reassuring. They followed up with questions regarding my wishes and were able to make me four bears instead of just the one! They came perfectly packaged and were met with tears of sadness and joy. They turned out perfect! I can't say enough about the care and consideration of this process. It's been almost five and a half years since I lost my oldest son and I will cherish my bear for the rest of my life. Much love to all!!!
I absolutely love this bear. The workmanship is excellent. I love the way the nose and eyes are done. I am so impressed and will cherish it.
I got two bears made for my daughters who lost their Dad. Such good quality work. I’m so happy with them and I can’t wait to give them for Christmas.
They are all adorable!❤️
I took my late husband's ties and had a memory bear made for our daughter. Now she will always a piece of her dad with her. The Patchwork Bear Team did a beautiful job!
My mom sleeps with her Keepsake Bear every night. They are wonderfully and lovingly made. Thank you so much.
The bear arrived nicely packed. I was so impressed at the professional and thoughtful crafting of the bear. We used a sweater that my mom wore frequently. I gifted it to my sister as she was having a particularly difficult time after loosing our mom. She was thrilled to receive such a thoughtful and lovely gift.
