Dear Lina and Staff, We don’t even have the words to properly thank you for the incredible kindness you showed us this Christmas. The visit from the Youth Center children, bearing a Christmas tree, decorations and gifts was completely unexpected and took us by surprise in the most beautiful way.

After such a difficult year losing our loved ones, your thoughtfulness touched our hearts more deeply than you could ever know. In a season that has been heavy with grief, you and the children brought light, warmth, and a reminder of love and community into our shop.

Please know that this act of generosity and compassion will stay with us forever. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for caring so deeply and for helping families raise such kind, thoughtful young people.

With endless gratitude,
Carol, David and Michael Manoukian

Ps. Hope you don’t mind AI was used to change the background only…. making it look more festive to match your beautiful tree.❤️

Doesn’t The Youth Center bus look absolutely amazing?!!! The design is vibrant, thoughtful, and full of life, showcasing the many supporters and businesses who help make this youth center possible, along with the beautiful images of children looking out from the windows. It truly represents the heart of our community.

We are incredibly touched by the youth center’s decision to include a lasting tribute to Sarkis. Caring for this bus and supporting this organization was something he took great pride in.

A very special and heartfelt thank you to Alamitos Eye Care for their generous donation that made it possible for my husband and our business to be honored on the back of the bus. Your kindness and thoughtfulness mean more to our family than words can express.

My sons and I look forward to continuing to serve and support our beloved youth center and community, carrying forward the same dedication, care, and heart that our husband and father gave so freely. Thank you all for honoring him and for everything you do for our children and our community.

Finding Light in the Season
As the holiday season begins, it feels different this year…. Quieter, softer, and filled with memories that bring both smiles and tears. It’s our first holiday season without Sarkis and though his laughter and warmth are missed beyond words, his spirit still fills every corner of this shop and every heart that walks through its doors.

We’re slowly learning to find new ways to experience happiness in the little things he loved - a shared laugh, a helping hand, a familiar face or the sound of an engine running just right. 🚗

To everyone who has supported our family and business through this year, thank you.
Hold your loved ones close. Cherish every moment and may you find peace, joy and gratitude in the small, beautiful moments that remind you of love everlasting.❤️

We are deeply honored and grateful to share that my late husband, Sarkis Manoukian, was awarded the 2024 Chief’s Award by Chief Michael Claborn of the Los Alamitos Police Department last night.

This meaningful recognition, presented by Chief Claborn himself with such kind and thoughtful words, is a true testament to Sarkis’s unwavering dedication, integrity and love for both the department and the Los Alamitos community. To know that his service and spirit are remembered in this way brings profound comfort to our family and we are deeply touched by this extraordinary gesture.

From the bottom of our hearts, we extend our sincere gratitude to Chief Claborn and the entire Los Alamitos Police Department for honoring Sarkis’s legacy with such respect and compassion. This is a tribute we will cherish forever.
