It has been a tough week for my family and I. Our hearts are shattered. Many questions will never be answered.

It always put a smile on his face when he saw all the happy customers walk through the bakery doors. He loved serving and talking to each one of you. He was also very eager to learn all aspects of the bakery. He was always in our kitchen shadowing our staff trying to learn their baking and cooking techniques. It brought him so much joy learning something new everyday. Next time you visit the bakery, please come and enjoy it in his honor. He will be smiling down from heaven. Remember to always be kind like Gavin Le. Thank you for all your support and condolences during this difficult time. With love, Betty
