Father and daughter pair Ron Rudolph and  Kristy Boike never dreamed they would end up selling bluebird houses to find their way through grief. After losing his wife Pat to Breast Cancer, Ron started building bluebird houses as a way to stay busy as he worked through the grief of losing his wife.
The birdhouses resonated with others who wanted to honor their loved ones and have inspired hope and healing along the way as well as a robust business utilizing Facebook's Marketplace.
