It is because of people like Jean that we continue to fight this battle … because she lost hers much too early. On the next several pages we present the items stitched by Jean Fancher Bruce and lovingly donated by her family to help fight this horrible disease. Sandy and The Attic provided the frames for a number of the items. The remaining items are presented here for you to finish as you prefer.
