Title: Getting back to the office
Post by: Doc B. on August 23, 2012, 05:53:35 AM

Eileen and I will be returning to the office today. While we were out of town last week my brother came to take care of my 94 year old mom, who lived across the street from us for the past 16 years. Unfortunately time finally caught up with her and Nana passed away last Sunday. So we have returned from a trip to grieving, starting to deal with estate matters, planning a memorial, etc.,etc., while working to get caught up with your orders and inquiries. Thanks for your patience with us while we work through all of this.

Dan,

My sincerest condolences.  No rush on my seduction kit, just take the time you need to do what you have to do.

Best,

Jim

So sorry!  Now I feel bad about sending an inquiry about my order to Eileen yesterday.

Condolences for the loss.

Doc,

  I am glad to hear that you were there for your mother. It doesn't always happen that way. Sorry for this most precious loss.

Sorry to hear that Dan.  My condolences as well.  I lost my mom a few years back, I know it's a very difficult time.

My condolences on your loss Dan.  It's never easy loosing someone close to you, especially a parent.  I have lost both of mine so I understand.

God Bless,
Ken

When my Mom passed I had just seen her the evening before. I gave her a hug and told her I loved her. That was the last we saw of each other. In a way I feel lucky to have had that chance. I didn't feel that way at the time but looking back it does help.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Remember her and she will always be there with you.
kind regards,
John Roman

Thanks once again for the kind words and for bearing with us while we pull it back together. Eileen and I have dived into our shipping backlog. I shipped a stack of orders that was taller than me yesterday. We have a couple of parts shipments in transit that will alleviate some of the oldest orders and we hope to be in a lot more caught up shape by the end of next week.
