I was unable find any mention of this on the forums. And after speaking with Randy (aka Papa Smurf) at Dream Hammock, he gave me the permission to share with you all. Some of you may already be aware, but Deanna Smith- or more commonly known around here as "Mama Smurf," passed away back in October 2021. She was not only Randy's life partner for over 42 years, but was also a co-owner in their business. For all of us Dream Hammock owners, Deanna's fingerprints are- without a doubt, present on all of our gear. But more importantly, behind their amazing hammocks was a truly wonderful lady- who seemed to care more about the people she served than the products she made. I know I thoroughly enjoyed all of my communications with her over the years.

My prayers go out to Randy and the rest of the Dream Hammock family. Deanna will be sorely missed by us humble hammock hangers.
