My first job

I met Elaine when I was 15, my first real summer job.  She was the receptionist in a dental specialty practice.  I spent the early part of summer stuffing envelopes to announce the addition of a third specialist.  This amazing lady looked after three doctors by doing all the administrative work.  I probably slowed her down by asking questions.  While we all aspire to be hard working, reliable and good at what we do, Elaine showed me that everyday.  I was fortunate to have met Elaine then, for she instilled a work ethic that helped shape my professional career.  Unfortunately, I compare my staff to her and realize she was one in a million.  She truly cared about her patients and her colleagues.

When Elaine asked me to babysit Hardy one night, I was thrilled and honored.  This meant that she trusted me with her pride and joy.  I can't believe the years have passed.  Hardy, you are the apple of you mom's eye.  She was so proud of you.  And rightly so....the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  May your cherished memories of your beloved mom give you some comfort during this very difficult time.  Your mom was indeed special.  Much love to you, Sue, Lauren and Markus.
