She truly enjoyed family trips to the beach, the mountains, the Christmas in the Smokies show at Dollywood, NYC and Friday nights in downtown Knoxville. Their family mission is the local coffee shop, Pike House Coffee, a beacon of hope to everyone who crosses its path. Their home was always opened to anyone who needed a place to lay their head.
