Chandra, that was beautiful, inspirational, and not to mention, a true testament to who Lindsay is!

And Lindsay, every word of it was true! You have truly been the kindest, most patient teacher in my first few months at Sugarluxe, and you never fail to brighten every day. I’ve missed you these past weeks, so I can’t wait to reunite!

Much Love, Kim

Thanks so much for your wonderful statements regarding Lindsay. We agree completely, but then again, we are naturally biased. To have it originate from someone whom she admires so overwhelmingly is a gift beyond imagination. We also thank you for your sentiment regarding us. It was a nice and thoughtful thing to say.

We could write endless pages about how much you’ve meant to our daughter, but allow us to provide but one small example:

On Valentine’s night we were on our way to keep reservations for a nice family dinner. Try as she might, Lindsay couldn’t help but feel a little morose because her Love was away in Barcelona. Being the ultimate trooper, however, she was doing everything possible to keep her chin up and to have as pleasant an evening as possible.

While on the road, her cell rang. She answered and we witnessed the most amazing transformation. Suddenly, our “little girl” became a business professional. We don’t mean professional in the mundane, stiff, boring sense of the word. Not in the least. Instead, she became alive, animated, and spoke with a maturity and sense of assurance that impressed and made us proud.

Of course, she was talking with you–her mentor, her friend, and her cherished model. She kept looking at us and apologizing quietly for not conversing with us, but we simply laughed and told her to keep talking with you. Why? Because it was a pleasure to watch her interact in a way that we don’t often get to experience. Those few moments spent discussing events with you took her mind completely away from her melancholy for her boyfriend, and made the remainder of the already special evening that much more meaningful for her and for us.

We thank you for being such a rich part of her life. Your words have brought us a marvelous joy, and they simply convey what a wonderful soul you are.

With sincerest thanks,

Ross and Rennee

This is the first time for me to read this amazing post since returning and I must be perfectly honest…I had to stop briefly to dry my eyes. Your words are the most amazing gift anyone has ever given to me.

I truly believe that our interview in May 2007 was fate and that we were absolutely meant to work together. You are an absolute blessing to me. I’ve always known I wanted to work within a business and do anything I could to help it grow and Sugarluxe is it What you have done in just 3 years is an amazing accomplishment and an inspiration to me!

Everyday I spend with you makes me smile and I can’t believe how blessed I am to not only know you but to work with you as well–you are the most BEAUTIFUL, COURAGEOUS, PASSIONATE and KIND person I know and I am a better person for having spent the past 10 months with you. As you say, you are not the typical “boss”, you are way better and other “bosses” should take a note from you because your constant encouargement, inspiration and kindness has helped me grow and learn more than I ever thought I could.

The quality of the people I’ve met in your life (Bob, your parents, Miss Lisa Rose, Bob’s parents) are a true reflection of your amazing personality and soul. You are the most wonderful person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I can’t wait to grow and work together. You and Sugarluxe mean everything to me

LOVE
Lindsay
