Can you believe it ... another year has flown right by us. I have been preparing for the upcoming sale- a friend of mine moved out of his house after 19 years- I inherited all of the items he was willing to get rid of... and it is LOTS!! He was an avid Disney fan/collector. We have a wide variety of Disney related items to please an entire city! 😎
The sale is the last Saturday in April again as usual. Same place as well... garden spot high school- front lawn area from 8am-2pm.
I hope that we have another great year!! Please join us for great bargains and WONDERFUL homemade baked goods.
More info to follow with pics and details.

family that will recieve the proceeds from sale
Alexis
Javier was 37 years old when he was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor in April,
2014. He had his first surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible,
followed by chemo & radiation. Alexis was back to work in six weeks and
persevering.
Seven months
later the tumor was back. He had his second surgery in November 2014. This time
the chemo sessions were 1 ½ hours long in hopes of shrinking the remaining
tumor and preventing others from developing. Again, he returned to work and
held his precious little family together.
In August,
2015 a heartbreaking visit to the doctor brought great sadness. The tumor was
back with a vengeance. He had his third surgery which was then followed by 5-6
hour chemo sessions that kept him from returning to work.
I am
saddened to say that he lost his battle on March 17,2016. His wife and three
beautiful young girls, Natalie (8), Noelle (5), and Nicole (3) will need the
funds from our benefit sale to help with the entire financial burden that comes
with cancer.
I look
forward to helping this family.
THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SUPPORT!!!!

another year
Well... it's here ... another year...
We will be having our 4th annual JFF bake/yard sale to benefit someone going through cancer. This year it is a young family; he just lost his battle with cancer Thursday, March 17th. He was only a young 39 years old. He had 3 beautiful little girls... 8,5,and 3. It is just a shame and a hurtful truth that these young ladies will never again be held by their very loving and devoted father. It will be an honor for us to help this wonderful, but broken family this year. My heart is so heavy for them. I hope to raise enough to make a difference in their bills, etc.

It takes A special kind of person...
In going through old memory boxes yesterday, I was flooded with so many emotions. Some of which included sadness, anger, hatred, love, happiness, fulfillment, emptiness... it was quite a ride.
I got to touch some of the clothing that Jimmy used to wear as a baby and some as he grew through toddler. I also have some of the shirts that he was so proud to wear and to brag "Yes, MY MOM bought me this one too"!! I miss him tremendously. His wisdom, his sarcasm, his problem solving, his humor, his smile, his laugh, his face... oh that face!!!! He won everyone's heart as they got to know him. I am truly lucky to have had him call me Mom.. or Maw, as he later called me when the grandkids were born. I got to touch all of his many medals from his basketball days at Garden Spot High School. Which I am happy to say that his nephew, Damion, will be hanging in his bedroom from this time forward. Damion was so happy when I went through them with him this morning and said 'This is all yours, buddy'. He had lots of questions, and was very quick to pick Uncle Jimmy out of the sports team pictures.
I am still so proud of who he was and what he became in his short life. He has such awesome friends. Jeff, whom he hiked the Appalachian Trail with, continues to carry Jimmy's ashes with him on EVERY adventure he embarks upon. He has a nice ceremony and spreads Jimmy lovingly at each awesome point of the adventure that he knew Jimmy would have LOVED to be. Jeff makes sure to video each ceremony and send to me- I am so thankful for that as well. And now another trail friend, Gravy, has asked if he could be honored with doing the same thing on trails that Jimmy had spoken of. Well, YES- of course... Jimmy's last wishes were to be spread as far and as many places as possible. I LOVE that his friends are honoring those wishes. Such a good soul to have touched so many others, even in his absence he is not forgotten and is being remembered and honored by so many!

Thoughts of you
When I read things that people have written about Jimmy, it makes me appreciate his Being even more. No matter how many times I read and reread and reread the same comments and stories, it always makes me so proud to have been a part of that life- the legacy of James Duane Faus!!

YARD/BAKE SALE
Cancer benefit sale....
Saturday, April 25th
8AM-1PM
Garden Spot High School
669 East Main Street
New Holland, Pa
ALL PROCEEDS to be donated to 2 families this year
I have been wanting to give information on the recipients of the fundraiser this year-Craig Miller 40 years old was diagnosed with brain cancer on April 10, 2014. He had a glioma removed in March 2014. He has Two children Michaela 15, Gavin 10, and two stepchildren Kyle 14, Colin 16, wife's name is Kristin. Craig has been through radiation and chemo treatments. He is now on alternative treatments to keep the cancer away. He tries to remain positive and also tries to remain employed. Craig has been quoted saying 'I want to beat this for my kids, to show them to never give up'. I am told Craig has a passion for life, and reminds Jarid Parmer of Jimmy in many ways. I look forward to helping Craig and his family.
The second family that the fundraiser is going to sponsor: The gentleman's name is Bob Hinkle. He and his wife had very bad news last June when they discovered cancer in a kidney. In July he had the kidney removed, hoping to be rid of the cancer. In October during a follow up, they found cancer in his brain and bones. How sad to think you will be good after they remove the affected area only to learn that it has attacked other areas of your body. Bob and... his wife struggle to pay bills and keep their heads above water. Bob works as much as he can, disease permitting. I am very happy to be able to help them as well... And it is only because of the wonderful people that support our efforts in keeping Jimmy's caring and giving nature alive that we can do this!! So, from the depths of my heart- - - Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Three Years...
Yes, it's been 3 years today.... Sometimes seems like yesterday- other times like forever; but, I know he's always near. I feel him, I talk to him, I relish in the memories of him. I will not be locking myself in my room and crying the day away- I will be having his brother and sisters (hopefully his dad) here for family dinner and we will talk about the memories (he had special ones with each person) and we will reflect on the love of people Jimmy had. I will continue each day to make Jimmy proud, to give love and memories to each person that is in my life. And we, as a family, will remain strong and secure in one another and vow to continue helping others as a reflection on Jimmy
