This week's reflection is a heartfelt tribute to a truly special soul, Kathy Krautkramer, whose unexpected passing has left an indelible mark on our hearts. Kathy (pictured in the center with her daughter and daughter-in-law at our candle bar) began volunteering with Door County Candle Company during the Ukraine candle launch in 2022, and she quickly became an integral part of our team.
Kathy's smile and laughter were infectious, illuminating every room she entered. Her passion for giving back was inspiring, reminding us all of the power of compassion and community. Her legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and love, values that we should all strive to embody in our own lives.
In honor of Kathy's incredible spirit, we are dedicating a portion of the profits from each 16oz Tree Farm candle sold to a local food pantry where she loved to volunteer. This initiative is a small way to continue her legacy of giving, ensuring her impact is felt far and wide.
Reflecting on Kathy's life, we are reminded of the unpredictable nature of our journey. It is a poignant reminder to cherish each moment, to hold our loved ones close, make a difference in the world, and to express our love and gratitude openly. As we navigate this life, let us think about our own legacies. Let Kathy's life be a guide—a testament to the beauty of living with love and intention.
This week, let's honor Kathy by embracing her values. Be kind. Be generous. Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them. Let Kathy inspire us to make a positive, lasting impact on the world around us.
💛Christiana
