Thank You!

Hi, Everybody!

 I’d just like to take a minute to thank a couple of people that have been so helpful throughout the year.  Earlier this year we changed cell phone providers and have had nothing but one problem after another.  The new provider’s customer service is almost non-existent. 

 However, the customer service offered by Joey and Lydia at the Wireless Toyz store in Oxford, Michigan is beyond compare.  They always go the extra mile and greet us with a warm welcome, even though they know our visits are usually not a good thing.  The problems we’ve had the cell provider is in no way a reflection on the service provided by the WT store.

 So if you’re in the Oxford / Orion area and looking for a Cell Phone store that cares about its customers, please visit the Wireless Toyz store at the corner of M-24 and Burdick.

Thank you, Joey and Lydia!

Reflections on 2007

The last year has been full of changes for our family. We’ve lost loved ones to cancer this year, including my dad last December. Dad was the “social director” for our family and is sorely missed. But more importantly, he was our spiritual leader. I think that one of the things he would stress now, more than ever before, is the importance of what Christmas really stands for…the birth of a Saviour. There is great comfort in knowing that my earthly father is now in the very presence of my Heavenly Father, and that someday, in the Lord’s perfect timing, we will be joyously reunited. There have been many blessings throughout this year also–Every need has been met; New friends have been made; Old friendships have been strengthened and so many more. We look forward to 2008, and the new memories that are sure to be made along the way. The picture above is my dad doing one of the things he enjoyed most– playing Santa and making people smile.

Thank you all for your support over the last year. If there is anything that you need, please feel free to email us or check the bl og for updates throughout the Christmas season.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
