Everyone loves teddy bears. These plush, lovable and huggable toys — varying in form, style, color and materials — signify love, congratulations or sympathy. Just ask Vicki Andrews, who over the years has crafted more than 2,500 memory bears. This Akron native can create a furry friend in about two weeks. Each inspired by a special story.
