Yesterday ~ Today ~ Tomorrow WONDERING if anyone really knows you? . . . Well, I found someone very close to me that actually hit the nail on the head with this year’s Mother’s Day Card . . . I just had to share it with you. As we roll into July, the summer is hot, the work goes on, and those of us who know what makes the world go round, dig in and keep on working ever harder to make this life we have been given worth living, not only for ourselves but for our children, their children, neighbors, friends, coworkers, associates; and most of all to let our parents and other relatives know we actually did listen and understand what they went through to make this life we have today better for us than they had it. We have to be sure we do the same for those who will take charge after us. I realize this crazy world a few have made so difficult for the good people who do so much, is hard to overcome at times, but if you keep that ever necessary Smile on your face and in your heart, this too shall pass, and the world will be bright and smiling back at each of us. Since the founding of this company in 2003, we have seen many come and go. Once again, a very valuable friend and colleague is moving on. This time to retirement. Please read Ed’s . . .
