🌸 Art with Heart: Vallejo Art Walk 🌸

Looking for the perfect **Mother’s Day gift**? Come visit us this Friday at the Vallejo Art Walk!

We are so excited to showcase a beautiful collection of ceramic flowers, trays, and dioramas, all handcrafted by the talented individuals at Milestones.

🎨 **Meet the Artist:**
These pieces were created under the guidance of local artist Naomi, who shares her passion for clay with our community. She has facilitated the entire process—from the initial building to the final glazing—of every piece on our table.

💰 **Shop for a Cause:**
100% of the proceeds go directly back into supporting the Milestones ceramics program.

📍 **Where to find us:**
When: This Friday, May 8th | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: Near the TreeBed Design Ceramics Studio (409 Virginia St, Vallejo)

Stop by, say hi, and take home a one-of-a-kind treasure that supports local artists with IDD. We can’t wait to see you there!

The Milestones of Development family is heartbroken by the loss of Jarrod Sharp. You brought so much light into our lives, lifting our spirits and bringing smiles even on the hardest days. It is incredibly difficult to accept that our 25 years of friendship in this world have come to a close.

Still, we find peace in knowing you are no longer in pain and that your light will continue to shine on through all of us. We ask that you soar freely, angel, and keep shining brightly in the lives of everyone you’ve touched.

You will be dearly missed, and we will forever cherish and celebrate the beautiful memories you’ve given us. We will always remember you in your glasses, with a book in hand, and that warm, unforgettable smile.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to your family and friends during this difficult time.

Rest peacefully.

With love,
Milestones of Development Family ❤️

We hopped on the ferry and spent a few hours exploring Pier 39—good food and plenty of laughs. Nothing beats fresh air, waterfront views, and great company.

Already looking forward to the next outing!
