Dear Richard,
I am so grateful for your part in my mother’s move! Because of your kindness and your service, we were able to pack up what we wanted and go. You took a great deal of stress off of us, since we were packing, meeting with the lawyer about her finances, meeting with the realtor, doing paperwork for her new home, and making sure that she got to her physical therapy appointments.
As we worked together, I discovered your huge heart and your observance of beauty. You noticed the old trees surrounding the house; you peaked at my paintings in the garage; you logged onto my Facebook page to see more of my artwork. You and I bonded over Latin. Thank you for taking a genuine interest in us as human beings! When I mentioned to you that I would like to give one of my mother’s pictures to her neighbor, you gave it to the neighbor yourself, rather than selling it. This gesture, most of all, demonstrated to me that your heart is in your work.
I hope that even though “People get in the way”, you realize fully how important your work is. You are so much more than “the trash guy”! You are taking care of people’s treasures in the kindest, most thoughtful way possible.
Best of luck.
Sincerely,
Heather Lashbrook
