Hey guys...I just wanted a little advice on what I should do.
I had a lady hosting a catalog show for me, and she wanted to close it on Black friday. I was supposed to meet her at 6pm, but I got a call from her saying her aunt had a stroke and was in the hospital and could we wait until the next day to close. I told her no problem, and we could close next week if need be...there was no rush...for her not to worry about the party her aunt was more important right now.
Well she called me the next day and her aunt passed away that morning at 4am. She said she wanted to get together with me to close out her show, because with funeral plans and stuff she was going to be busy, and she wanted to get this out of the way. I felt SOOOO bad for her, and I tried to let her know there was no rush in getting her show submitted, but she wanted her friends who ordered to get their things in a timely manner and just wanted to close it. So we met at Big Boys and my Dh and son were with me...the poor woman ....uh i just wanted to cry. She was trying so hard to keep herself composed while I entered her orders in the laptop. My son kept asking her to color with him and i tried to stop him from bugging her and she was like. " no please just let him. it will help take my mind off of things"
I am having her orders shipped to me, so i can sort them and everything for her...figured she didn't need to worry with that stuff right now. I would just deliver them to her guests, but no one gave me their addys.
I want to send her a sympathy card...i don't know her very well though, but I thought it would be nice to do. I know she is hurting and i feel so bad for her. But what should I say if i do send her one?? I always stink at trying to find the right words in this kind of situation.
