Dear Friends of Giving Tree,
Forgive us for not updating our blog better this week. It has been a sad one here at Giving Tree. Our wonderful employee and dear friend, Maggie Smilie, passed away from her life long battle with Cystic Fibrosis on November 12th.
Maggie was 19 years old. It is too sad to even really comprehend this loss. We spent the week remembering her amazing spirit, her easy laughter, and her LOVE for her family and friends. This thanksgiving, as well as being thankful for all of the blessings in our lives, we are going to be celebrating the brave and beautiful spirit-Maggie-that came into our world this summer and changed us forever.
In the coming weeks, we are going to be selecting some of Maggie's favorite pieces and donating the proceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation. We are going to keep Maggie and her family close to our hearts and remember to be grateful for the family and friends we all have.
God Bless Maggie, and the Smilie family
Rachel, Judith, Jessie, Kristen, Laura, Deanne and Matt.
