To the editor:

Dave and Karen Eldridge, owners of Isabella, would like to announce that we are retiring and thus closing our business in the village of Cazenovia. We would like to take the opportunity to thank our many loyal friends and customers near and far for the support you have provided during these past 11 plus years.

We have thoroughly enjoyed this retail journey but realize we need time to enjoy the newest members of our expanding family. As many of you know, we have children and grandchildren in many locations and have found it difficult to spend quality time with each of them. The time for us is now.

We will close the business by the end of summer 2016 and list our beloved home where we have raised six wonderful children. Our family will always remember Cazenovia as the special place we called home for so many years. We are now looking forward to the next adventure in our lives as we head in a southern direction for a new chapter to unfold.

Dave and Karen Eldridge
