Live A Legacy, Leave A Legacy : A Book about the Sanctity of Life and Troy Thompson’s 4 year battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

(Watch for more details coming soon!)---

The mission of Victoria's Lavender is to provide pure and natural ingredients in quality products that are beneficial to the body and soothing to the soul. We work hard at creating lavender products that are high in quality as well as attractive.

Victoria's Lavender has its roots in the rapidly growing wine country in Oregon. The business grew out of a dream to use the property my husband and I had purchased, and built a home on. Shortly after, Troy was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, an incurable and fatal illness. After an extraordinary 4-year battle with this vicious disease, he died at the age of 36.

During Troy's illness I was unrelenting in my study of natural alternatives since traditional medicine had nothing to offer. I have learned to respect the natural products around us, and strive to use only toxin-free products whenever possible.

After Troy's death I took time off from a demanding career, and wrote a book about our experiences. A new chapter in my life started three years ago as I embarked on this new and creative business venture. I am delighted at the phenomenal response that my products have received. And thrilled to be able to work from home and be close to our twelve year old daughter, Victoria, as well as being able to employ other stay-at-home Moms. I am humbly thankful to live and work in such a beautiful place, and to be able to carry out our dream."

Striving for loveliness both inside and out,

Marilyn Thompson
