"I am heartbroken at this news. The Abode team has always provided the most outstanding customer service I have ever experienced, along with energy, good humor and a sense of joy in what you do. I'm ready to start a "Save Abode" movement too if there is any way to help u keep the doors open. I do consider you friends and have so enjoyed our times together. I compliment you too for the straightforward communications here and your honorable intentions in spite of what must be a very painful ordeal. Take care and all best wishes for new adventures and successes. I will miss my favorite store and the people in it very much".
"I thought you did a remarkable job with the concept, and Abode could not have had better stewards than Bill and Josh Jackson. Bill, you are one of the leading Entrepreneurs in Wichita, and the community has been very fortunate to have you"!
"We are sad to hear your news. We will enjoy the Abode Furniture that we have for a long time and will remember Abode in a wonderful way".
"I am very sorry to hear such distressful news of your closing. We all know the importance of business in the core of Wichita to be a viable community. Your store is the essence of that viability. I know you and your staff did all you could to save Abode and will miss it very much. The community will miss the lights and the heart of Abode when they go out for good also.Good luck to you and your staff in the future in whatever venture or direction you may take".
 "I’m so sorry to hear this news. Abode Home has been a great asset to East Douglas and the Wichita community as a whole. It will be sorely missed".
"About 4 years ago I purchased many leather pieces from you, including a sofa, loveseat, club chair, and ottoman. I LOVE my furniture...it is so classic and so comfortable. Since that purchase I have bought numerous smaller items. I love to browse all the furniture and decor items. I wish I could have purchased enough to keep you in business. Abode is a fantastic shopping/browsing experience. Boo Hoo to your closing".
"You should be so proud that not only was Abode Home a class act, but the Team that worked so hard to build & run it are ALL a class of a very high standard. Personally I am proud to have been a part of this run. As always, you can count on me to be one of your biggest supporters. My hat's is off to your valiant effort. I wish you all well and I know great things are yet to come".
