Well today was both a good day & bad day. It was a bad day because last night one of my former employees (T.B.)'s husband called us at night while we were asleep complaining and griping about something that was ridiculous and a huge waste of time.
Which caused me not to sleep well at all. I cant believe how insensitive some people can be.
But then the good part, was our new employees are doing great and we had a great day! (I call them Dixie's Angels) and we had a great day and got several nice emails and appreciative phone calls from clients who were thrilled with their portraits. We received a huge shipment yesterday and another today and more tomorrow and Friday. Pictures are everywhere and the comments Mrs. West said to me, just gave me goosebumps. Shes one of those clients that always comes back and is a walking commercial for our studio. Its an emotional time with all the Seniors graduating high school and their moms and dads feeling the empty nest just around the corner.
The sad,sad, sad news is that I just learned a former employee and office manager (the beautiful) Michelle Livernois is in the final stages of battling colon cancer and was not expected to make it through the night. I'm heart sick. I just saw her at Christmas time and she gave me the biggest best hug ever.
Michelle is a sweetheart and I loved her and working with her was a joy. She always had a big smile on her face and was so positive and dressed the the nines!
She and I about cleaned out Steinmart once in Arlington on a shopping spree. Shes a true sweetie. Anyone who knows Michelle and Tom know that they did a lot for Cancer, for Relay for Life and she worked at the Cancer center for years before she ever got it about 18 months ago. She's a ture giver and a loving woman. I was honored to know her. The work they did helped thousands of people.
I thought she was beating this horrible disease. I thought if anyone could do it, it would be her. Why would God take such an Angel? She and I are the same age. Now I learn that she is in Hospice and in the final stages. They are saying that she has the heart of a Lion and so its taking a while to shut down completely. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/michellelivernois
Michelle is just an amazing person. I cant tell you how sweet and precious she is. I can hear her laugh right now. (Her CHORTLE!)
Those beautiful eyes and perfect white teeth and that smile. Wow, what a smile. Makes you realize that there are good people in this world and makes you fortunate to meet and know them. Im looking at a beautiufl blaket she gave me that says "Love is Patient, Love is Kind".

Rest easy Michelle, we love you. I know that soon you will see the face of Jesus! What a sight that will be. We love you. Her husband and family are planning a memorial service for her this Saturday, April 19,2008 at Faith Baptist Church.
