Janet has been making memorybears since 2004. It started with making bears for her 3 kids as a gift for them on the 10th anniversary of Joe's death. In August 1994, Joe died while trying to save his friend from a low-head dam.

If you're interested, you can e-mail her through the contact link in the menu above.

This is Joe's bear, very much enjoying having his picture taken.

Joe's bear

This is the shirt that Joe's bear is made out of.

The picture was taken about 2 months before he died and just after his 14th birthday.
