TANNER' SIGNATURE SEASONING

So there you have it.  After months and months of brainstorming, searching, more searching, phone calls, e-mails, packaging samples.  This is the finished product.  It all started back in early February.    Our family had been talking of ways we could honor Tanner and his memory. One Sunday morning Kristi and I had just woke up and almost simultaneously had  the same thought.   We needed to package and sell a seasoning blend that I have perfected over the years.  I approached the ownership of Lees MARKETPLACE, where I now spend my time. (much less time might I add).  I was given approval to proceed and investigate how I might be able to put this together.  It needed to accomplish several things.
The packaging needed to represent Tanner's character and class. 
The product needed to be of good quality and at an affordable price. 
Most importantly was to have a portion of the sales go to benefit childhood cancer research.













It was important to us to do what we could to raise awareness of this horrible disease, known as, childhood cancer.  We wanted to do whatever we could to ensure that another parent doesn't suffer the pain and heartache of losing their child.
In this small way we feel Tanners memory will live on. 

It may not be the mountain that we want to move but stone by stone we feel someday this will be accomplished.

The only place it is available is through Lees MARKETPLACE   in Logan and soon to be in Smithfield and North Ogden.  We will be bringing some with us to the Curesearch walk in September.  The cost will be $5.25 including sales tax. 

We are so grateful for the continued love and support we feel everyday.

Forever Strong

Dear family and friends,

May 14th is a day that will never be forgotten, one year ago today we lost our son Tanner. At times I can’t believe it has been a year and others I have live through every second of it.

We have had many hard days, many spiritual days, and a few good days. We miss him more than words could ever explain. We are so grateful for the continued love and support we receive. It would not be possible to endure this kind of sadness without strength given to us from so many wonderful people.

We have been asked if there is going to be any kind of planned remembrance today. We as a family are going to spend some quite time together and plant a memory tree in our yard for Tanner, with a BBQ. Tanner loved grilling outdoors. This will be our time to honor him.

Our family, especially Robert have been working on a project. We are very passionate about an organization called "Curesearch" They are the fund-raising arm for Children’s Oncology Group. They give 94% of funds raised to research. That is amazing! We will be introducing a new product called "Tanner’s signature seasoning". We are so excited to announce that Lee’s market place in Logan, Smithfield and Ogden stores will all be carrying this product exclusively soon. We have made arrangements with Lee’s and Curesearch that $.1.00 of every bottle sold with go toward finding a cure for childhood cancer! Please look for this is stores soon.

Now here is where you can help. PLEASE consider joining Tanner’s team as we plan to attend a "walk for a cure" in Salt Lake this September 29th of this year. It is not necessary for you to attend at the walk with us, though we would love to have you, but we are asking you to please join our team, by making a minium donation of $10.00. Our goal is to have at least 50 team members, but we know we can do so much more. Please include all your family members if possible so we meet and exceed our goal. In memory of Tanner please consider joining our Team.
