I've been struggling with this all day... After two rough weeks in the ICU, Dan Biggs left this world Monday December 9th.

All of our love and prayers go out to the Biggs family.

Dan was much better with words than I am, so it's hard to find the right ones.... All who knew Dan and were frequent patrons knew this was a special time of year for us. The day after Thanksgiving the pathetic little plastic tree, with half its branches missing or bent, would go up and the iconic orange iMac would be placed under it. Everyday, several times a day, through Christmas that little orange iMac would play Dan's favorite Christmas movie: "It's A Wonderful Life". He and I could recite the entire movie and mimic all the voices and we did so all-day-long. It was our game. Dan's favorite character to mimic was Old Man Potter, the crusty little curmudgeon from Bedford Falls. Go figure. "Sentimental hogwash!" Was shouted every day... several times a day, sometimes to customers, to get a chuckle, or to an unfortunate telemarketer followed by a heavy "click" or a grumbly "...and a Happy New Year to you! In jail!"

Dan's Mr. Potter was well rehearsed and finely tuned. He might have carried the Old Man Potter persona with him throughout the year, but underneath he was George Bailey in his heart. Like George, he gave more than he was given, asked for little and inspired many.

The world feels a little smaller. What I wouldn't give to hear one last "Bahhumbug!" or some other colorful expletive.

Clarence Oddbody said it best: "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole...."

He certainly does.

Many thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers for Dan Biggs. He's still in the ICU at Bethesda North Hospital and we will keep you updated on his progress.

The family has requested a limited amount of visitors, Dan needs his rest, but if you would like to send a card you can mail to Dan Biggs at Bethesda North Hospital 10500 Montgomery Road Cincinnati, Ohio. 45242-4402.

Heather will be visiting with Dan and his family this week, you are more than welcome to drop off cards at the shop and she will deliver them in person.

Again, many thanks. Dan is very fortunate to have so many loving people in his life.

Your thoughts and prayers are dearly need this week. Dan Biggs suffered a massive heart attack early Saturday morning. He is currently in the ICU at Bethesda North Hospital on Montgomery Rd.

As we approach the holiday season, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, let it be a reminder of the people we are truly thankful to have in our lives. We wish Dan a speedy recovery and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Frame Designs will continue to operate under normal business hours. We will be closed Thursday November 28 for Thanksgiving.

We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday.
