R.I.P. Lilo - we will miss you

It is with great sadness that, we announce the passing of our founder, and beloved Mom(Mutter), Lilo. We will be closed so we can allow time for us and our staff to take this all in. Lilo had so much love for her business and she was so blessed with so many wonderful years working along side her family and staff. A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.
