I designed the Faith Beanie in honor of my friend Joe Vaughn. Joe passed away from lung cancer and will always be remembered by his gentle soul and his cheerfulness that rubbed off onto everyone he was around. He taught my husband and I how to live life to the fullest, laugh often and enjoy each day that God gave us.
