Yesterday

Michell was a customer of mine who came in frequently to get her morning donut holes; three maybe four bags! I was drawn to her beautiful beautiful smile. I was greatly impressed by her dedication to her job; walking with a purpose EVERY DAY! Her determination, her drive, her smile. She always came early (before sunrise at times) and I grew to love her and admire her as a daughter figure. I´m sure Heaven lit up when she entered with that smile! I will miss her. Sincerely, Ms. Kimmy.
