I sit and say to myself, 26 years of being a devoted leader to the Floral Industry. Great clients who supported our business, day in and day out, We shared many great events and many sad tearful events the same. Today I am just a person among the crowd of many looking for my next goal in life to go after.Not Mr. Christopher,or BossMan, or the Owner but just Darin. I called my former two employees tonight, Patti Kamas and Denise Westlake, two women I Love whole heartedly and thanked them for their years of service,as we laughed at times, we cried at others,but after hanging up the phone I realized I was blessed in so many ways. Great friends and great days I shared,now it's passed on to younger ideas,Angela Payne it's your turn to shine.Accept this gift and build your life,enjoy the smiles and laughs that walk through your open door and listen to the sadness of folks when they trust in you to comfort their soles. Today I'm gone and new life begins at the Hometown Florist on Hoffman Street.Nothing comes easy but people will support your offerings,learn the happiness and joys that flowers bring and know hard work makes for busy days. Greet your customers and ask how you can help them as you are now Ms Payne, or Bosswoman, and yes Owner of your own business world ahead. Good days ahead and wishing you success and wellness.Stop by folks and introduce yourself as today begins greatness for Elmira at 203 Hoffman Street.
