Derek's Story

A celebration of adventure, passion, and a life lived with heart.

This special Legacy Basket honors Derek Schwarting and the adventurous spirit that made him so special.

Derek loved to travel, explore, and experience new places. He had a curiosity about the world and a genuine excitement for planning trips and discovering what was around the next corner. Whether he was exploring a new destination, taking in a beautiful view, or simply making memories along the way, Derek embraced life with an adventurous heart.

Derek was also a passionate sports fan and football coach. He loved being on the sidelines or in the stands, cheering on his favorite teams.

This basket brings together some of the teams and experiences he loved, celebrating the things that brought him joy.

Derek lived and loved BIG. He knew how to enjoy life, embrace new experiences, and make memories with the people around him.

In Loving Memory of Travis James Busse | Forever 24

A celebration of a lifelong Packers fan, a loving son, and a young man whose laughter and kindness touched so many lives.

Travis's Story

Although Travis was born in California, he moved to Wisconsin when he was only six months old and grew up a true Wisconsinite—loving cheese curds, brats, summer days at waterparks and lakes, and, of course, the Green Bay Packers.

Travis was a happy child with a big smile and an unforgettable laugh. He loved video games, collecting Pokémon cards, biking, skateboarding, swimming, sledding, pizza, ice cream, and spending time with his friends.

As he grew older, he dreamed of becoming a sportscaster or sportswriter. He was also hardworking and especially proud of the landscaping work he did.

Travis was a Packers fan from the very beginning—from wearing green and gold as a baby to attending games at Lambeau with his family. Some of our most treasured memories with him were made while cheering for the Packers together.

In Travis's memory, we are donating a $100 Packers Pro Shop gift card to Cade's Light's Share Their Light Legacy Auction. We hope it brings joy to another Packers fan while helping Cade's Light create meaningful experiences for local youth.

Travis was a loving son, a loyal friend, and a funny, caring young man with a huge heart. He made people feel like they mattered and always knew how to make others smile.

We are grateful for this opportunity to share a little of who he was, celebrate something he loved, and continue shining his light forward.

What's Included:

🏈 $100 Green Bay Packers Pro Shop Gift Card

Show your Packers pride! The winning bidder will receive a $100 gift card to the official Green Bay Packers Pro Shop, redeemable in person or online at www.PackersProShop.com.

Gift Value: $100

In Loving Memory of Erin Marie Kjellstrom | Forever 27

A beautiful collection of meaningful gifts, treasured memories, and experiences honoring a young woman whose kindness and love touched so many lives.

Lovingly created by Erin's mom, Sharon, this special Legacy Basket celebrates Erin's passions, her friendships, and the many ways she made the world a brighter place.

💜 Erin's Story — Shared by Her Mom, Sharon

When putting together this basket in memory of my sweet girl, Erin, I included things that meant so much to her.

Erin was such an empath, an old soul, and so kind to all. She was always ready and willing to help a friend—or even a stranger.

Erin loved animals, especially her dog, Anya, whom she rescued in 2017. A picture of the two is enclosed in the basket. I feel as though Anya also rescued Erin, as they were inseparable.

Erin was a hairstylist and had just opened her own salon a year before she passed. She was thriving as a small business owner! She loved her clients and grew close to many of them. She loved making people feel special and beautiful, including me, her Mama.

I've included her favorite hair products by Amika. The scent still brings me back to being in her salon as she did my hair.

Purple and the scent of lavender were two of Erin's favorites, so I've included a scented candle. A Moka gift certificate is also included, as that was Erin's favorite coffee drive-through, where she loved grabbing a chai lavender latte. She always left the person at the window with a smile, some kind words, and a great tip!

I've included an inspirational bracelet, a sunflower plaque with words of encouragement like those Erin was known to share with others, and a journal for your own thoughts and dreams. Erin was an avid journaler.

She also loved owls and was intrigued by them, so of course I found a beautiful purple owl figurine adorned with little jewels!

Some of the most meaningful gifts in this basket come from the people who loved Erin.

A very close friend and mentor, Deb, kindly donated a haircut at her salon, Cutting Edge Hair Etc. Erin had worked in Deb's salon at one time and remained very close with her family throughout the years.

Another close childhood friend, Braden, donated a gift certificate toward a tattoo at his own shop, Morningstar Tattoo. Along with his gift certificate is a picture of Erin showing the amazing purple rose tattoo he created for her.

Another lifelong friend, Linda, donated a wonderful spa experience at Soleil Wellness and Day Spa in Erin's memory. Erin was actually one of the spa's first employees!

What makes these gifts especially wonderful is that each of the gift certificate donors included their own beautiful memories of Erin and how much she meant to them.

The basket also includes a thumb drive of Erin's favorite music, made by another friend, Eman. One of Erin's favorite things to do was attend music festivals throughout the Midwest with her friends. Music was a big part of her social life.

Erin lived a short life, but it was a life well lived and full of love and service to others. She is missed by so many each and every day.

I hope this basket, made with love in her memory, sheds a little light on who Erin was and how much better the world was with her in it.

Please enjoy!

With love,

Erin's Mom, Sharon 💜

In Loving Memory of Spencer Radel

A beautiful handmade quilt celebrating a young man who loved fishing, found joy in life's simple pleasures, and made others feel like they belonged.

Spencer's Story

Spencer's Let's Go Fishing quilt design reflects one of his favorite things to do—go fishing! He started fishing at a very early age and fell in love with it. And he was good at it!

The simple things in life made him happy. He was such a happy guy and always looked out for others. Many stories have been shared with us about his kindness and the way he included everyone in his group, especially those who didn't always "fit in."

His last Facebook post before he went in for treatment was:

"Don't Judge, Just Support."

Those words have now become our mantra and are included on the back of this quilt.

🧵 About the Quilt

This beautiful, colorful throw quilt (54.5" x 67") lovingly handmade by Spencer's mom, LaDonna, features rows of vibrant fish swimming against a blue, water-inspired background, surrounded by a bold patchwork border.

The intricate quilting and playful design celebrate Spencer's love of fishing, while the meaningful words on the back carry forward his message of kindness, acceptance, and support.

More than a quilt, it's a heartfelt tribute to a young man who found happiness in the simple things and made sure others felt included.

"Don't Judge, Just Support."

A beautiful reminder of Spencer's light and the importance of showing kindness to everyone.

Quilt Value: $600

Aidan's Story

A celebration of family, heritage, and the special place South Africa held in Aidan's heart.

Aidan had been traveling to South Africa with his family since he was just four months old. South Africa is his mom's country of birth, and over the years, Aidan's love and admiration for both his mom and her homeland continued to grow.

In fact, his South African family affectionately gave him the nickname “Aidan of Africa.”

Aidan loved everything about his South African roots, especially the foods, treats, and cold beverages that reminded him of the country and family he loved so dearly.

This special Legacy Basket celebrates those connections, bringing together some of Aidan's favorite South African treats and sharing a little piece of the place that meant so much to him.
