I had to take 15 minutes out of my insanely busy day to thank you.
I usually use 1800flowers for everything and rarely work with an actual florist. I had very little notice to put something together for my co-worker. After calling various florists, I could not find anyone that could deliver for the wake. After I was turned down by a number of florists, I decided to send a care basket on the following day.
I had spoken with a few places. However, I very specifically remembered you. You sounded very busy, but there was something about your voice or what you said that made me decide to call you back. I sifted through the numbers I had called and google links I had clicked. I wasn't sure if I would be able to remember which place you were from. I guess I got lucky, because you picked up the phone again.
I wasn't really sure what all was going into the gift basket. I had decided to leave that up to you.
Today, I open my email to find pictures that you took the time to take and send me w/o me even requesting to see it.
I have to say that I am very happy that I decided to call you back. The basket was perfect. I was glad to see that there wasn't any junk food in it. To my delight, The food looked very healthy and fresh.
I have worked with Joe for over 8 yrs now and he is not just an employee, but a friend. his brother was just 37 yrs old and had passed away from a heart attack. His diet was from what I have heard very poor. Lots of fast food, soda, etc.
We have always tried to provide healthy snacks for our employees and encourage a good healthy diet. We offer discounted LA Fitness memberships to our employees and in the past have even brought in Fitness Trainers to offer after work work-outs.
I lost my Grandmother 1 year ago and soon after my Father-n-Law who lived with us after he was diagnosed with cancer.
After the loss of a loved one there are many times when you physically can not lift your body out of bed, much less find the energy to go to the store and fix food. That is why I always choose to send food baskets during difficult times.
Thank you so much for putting the time and care you did into creating their basket. I am sure your basket is helped Joe and his family through the most difficult time of their lives.
Sincerely
Wesley & Jessica Warren
