About Me
My name is Susan Leshinsky and I make Memory Bears and Keepsakes to honor the memory of those we've loved and lost. I realized this was my life purpose after the passing of my brother, Michael. My Mikey Bear brings me much comfort and peace. I'd like to create Memory Bears, Keepsakes or Tshirt Quilts to bring you comfort as well.
