Hello everyone, I am writing this post on behalf of Lisa and Nick with a very heavy heart.  Lance, the eldest son of Lisa and Nick, passed away suddenly just before New Year’s.  Lance was 29 years old.  He was a sweet, kind, gentle soul.  Lisa is heartbroken beyond measure.  Please keep Lisa, Nick and their family in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this difficult time.

I live on a lake in beautiful Butte Des Morts, WI. I have three sons: Lance (forever 29), Luke 33, Jake 32, and two grand-babies, Little Man and O-Bug. I've been married to the love of my life Nick, since 1998 when we started our crazy adventure together! I am a quilter, rugger, and gardener. I also love to cook when I get the chance. Thanks for visiting and supporting Primitive Gathering Quilt Shop where I try to bring you the best Moda fabrics and wool projects anywhere!

  1. I am so profoundly sorry for your loss, Lisa & Nick. My son died at the age of 30, 5 years ago, & one of the things that really helped me with the grief was homeopathic ignatia amara, which you can get in health food stores.
    I just used one pellet under my tongue whenever I felt that I was going under with the grief; it just helps take some of the edge off.
    My prayers, love & comfort are with you always.

  339. We lost our 23 year old son, Joshua, at the WTC. There is no loss as great as the loss of a child, no matter his age. This is a heartbreak no parent should ever have. We are members of a club that no one wants to belong. My heart is with you and your family. I only hope that your memories of Lance will give you some comfort in the years to come. G-d Bless.

  341. Lisa and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a nice man. I met him last year when I went to Wisconsin. I have a picture of him in my mind of him playing mad scientist with the wool. He was having
    fun at work. And that is always a good thing. He will always be with you in your hearts and memories.
