Kindness was her core trait and giving hugs to shower you she cared was part of her character. In her honor, we have taken the motto "Hug a Day" so that we will remember her loving spirit and gracious acceptance of all people. When you wear this band, remember Hannah and pass along a hug or smile to someone you barely know or someone you see struggling to make them feel loved, accepted or just to make them feel better.
Both he and good friend, Paige Merical, did not survive. Ian was a graduating senior at Wake Forest High School. His greatest passion was soccer. He played on teams at WFHS and on his NCFC team, the Condors, for 16 seasons. He disregarded conventional boundaries and accepted people for who they were and treated everyone as equals.
Kohlton attended Heritage Middle School and was entering ninth grade at Wake Forest High School. Kohlton played AAU basketball for the Carolina Waves basketball team for four years. He had a great love of the sport of basketball, with teamwork being the focus of his abilities. He had a love for animals and nature and a special knack for knowing and sensing other people's needs. He was gifted with great intuition and sensitivity for all things good. Kohlton loved being social and touched many lives with his warm personality.
His is missed every day. We created this re-focus band as a reminder of all that Tanner taught us over his lifetime. He would want you to cherish your family and friends and cherish the time that you're able to spend with them. He'd want you to live life every day to the maximum with no regrets! Tanner lived a rich and full life and our hope is that you will always LIVE BIG for Tanner!

The best Boutique in Wake Forest and the Triangle! Always with adorable accessories and clothing attire. They also have a matching mommie and me section which is a plus!

Not sure what's going on here! The past 3 time I have been in this store I have not been greeted. Not only that no one has attempted to help me. The employees were just standing around talking. The employees that did walk around were following me like I was a shop lifter. I have been a customer for a long time but after today I think I am done.

I went into the store to get something special for my wife. Everyone there was extremely helpful and helped me find what I was looking for. It was a challenge they overcame, I was looking for something specific. Thank you to all the wonderful people there!

***Editing my review and increasing from 1 to 4 stars** The owner reached out and was incredible, and even offered us a gift card to return and try the shop again. This is the way small businesses excel. We will for sure be giving LilyMae's another try!** Original review: We stopped in to try to find a dress for my daughter for graduation. We arrived right at 10am as the store opened.

There were 3 associates at the desk, no one even acknowledged we came into the store. We asked if she could try on some dresses and one associate pointed back to the dressing room and said "yes, the dressing rooms are back there and they are open." Upon leaving the dressing room, no associate engaged with us, even though a couple of them made eye contact.

We re-racked the dresses. No one asked what we were looking for or offered us any help or even a greeting. Cute store with lots of unique items, but we were really disappointed considering none of the employees engaged with us as at all. We saw some dresses online we were interested in, but considering no one seemed eager to help, we decided to leave.

Very rude and disrespectful employees, my wife was trying to buy an earring for my daughter and one employee keep following her around telling her that the store was closing in 5 minutes and took the earring out of my wife hands, you guys lost a customer and I will tell all my friends and family not to shop on this business ever again.

Did a ton of holiday shopping here this year. The customer service, merchandise selection, and gift wrapping will make this my go-to shop for gifts! Such an amazing local place to shop!

Great selection of merchandise, helpful and friendly staff. They gift wrap all the items I purchase. My wife just loves this place and I can always walk away with a gift my wife and daughter just love.

Exciting little store we stumbled into when we were in the area and needed a birthday present. Were expecting to just buy one thing for birthday boy but ended up dropping another $100 on just what we could fit in our hands. Don't go in here if you have an impulsive nature, or maybe do. There is a lot of great and interesting stuff here to buy either for yourself (hello elastic wallet) or for others (hello kitchen gloves with funny sayings).

Absolutely the best shop! I am an Interior/Exterior Designer, this Owner and Manager are MAGNIFICENT! My art plays out in my clothing for expression and I do personal shopping for others. This is my go to place for all my clients. A rare find, fun girls and neat clothes. Playing dress up in one fell swoop! Ms. Jody is full of gratitude for Lily Mae's Ready to shop, give me a shout out!

Do you really need anything at Lily Maes? Probably not. Do you want it all? Yes! If you are ever in a bind for a quick little gift, just save some time and head straight to Lily Maes. It's mostly trinkets, jewelry, gadgets, fun things and some cute clothing too. I've taken visiting family members here to browse and shop. I've popped in on lunch break to grab a little gift for a coworker. It's not hard to find something that you or a loved one will enjoy.

I will say it's mostly stuff for the ladies, but some offerings for the guys too. I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. They offer gift wrapping too! Prices are fair to slightly higher end for trinkets. But I say that hesitantly because they do offer unique, local items so I like to support that. I recall seeing a clearance section once but don't know if that's just after holidays or certain times per year. Parking is ample.

Extremely disappointed with the staff. I walked in, browsed for 30 min and not one person said hello to me. I walked right past the sales desk where they were having a conversation and they ignored me; all 3 of them. I left without purchasing anything. I am a former retail employee and know what good customer service looks like. I refused to buy anything because of the poor service. Such a shame, they had a lot of great stuff!

I love this store! Lily Maes is my go-to for gifts and never disappoints. Reasonably priced and super cute things. The staff is so friendly and helpful, even if you go in not knowing what you want, they will help you find it. From Yeti to Pandora to trendy clothes and shoes, Lily Maes has it all.

My favorite one stop shop! I love the fun energy and great customer service that I get from every employee. Super cute clothes and accessories for teens and women. They have a good amount of handmade and/or locally made items that make for great gifts. Love that they have pandora and alex and ani so I don't have to drive all the way to the mall.

One of my favorite places to go and not realize how much time flies! I purchased 2 pairs of readers (Peepers) and few other items. Well probably more than a few other things that I am ashamed to admit. They had a sale and it was great because many of the items are pricey but well worth it if you really want it. I have not purchased any clothing yet.

It is a great place to send your friends and family looking for gift item ideas for you or someone special. OH and the ladies are great and very helpful when you can't decide on an item or color.

Been visiting Lily Mae's about once or twice a year since they opened 13 years ago. Unfortunately, staff has now become mostly teenage/college age girls (nothing wrong with that!), but the girls working there basically ignore you and/or make you feel rather awkward for even walking in. The store has a lot of kitschy stuff and items are priced quite high, expect sticker shock. Organized and well-lit, if a bit too crowded for my taste.

If you're looking for preppy items, you'll be happy! Cute (overpriced) tees abound! I've seen a lot of the same shirts at Carolina Moon at Triangle Town priced much lower. Visiting Lily Mae's you can expect cute and somewhat unique items, high prices and pretty much non-existent (somewhat aloof or snobby) customer service.

Cute stuff, nobody spoke to me or my husband as we walked around. Saw several young girls working but nobody took the time to ask if we needed anything or how we were doing. Will not be back.

I am OBSESSED with this store. If you don't know what to get someone for a gift, just come in here and everything is cute and unique. Some of their clothing is pricey but I love it. Jewelry is awesome. Lots of stuff made in NC. My new favorite things are leather earrings. The are lightweight and won't tarnish. Come here now.

Cute clothes. worst teenage sales representatives! Overheard them talking about me as I am trying on clothes! So I put my $300 worth of items back and said NO THANKS! I'll take my money somewhere else!

I bought a nice handbag from here and I really loved it. Although it was on the pricier end, I don't mind splurging on my self once in a while. Who doesn't? Lol, the quality of the purse was pretty good too, so that's another reason I didn't mind paying and also why I loved it. I can't really say anything else about the store though, because I happened to see the bag through the window and had to get it, and since I was pressed for time I didn't have time to shop around like I wanted, but they had cute handbags for sure! Definitely want to go back.

Lily Mae's is located inside the factory in Wake Forest. This is a fun little shop filled with eclectic products. Everything from kids and women's clothes, accessories, lotions and soaps, wind and willow products, jewelry, to fun gift type items. Prices are reasonable on some things and higher end on others. Stop in and check it out. You might find something fun to make you smile!
