...a little prayer

I just wanted to let folks know that my mother in law passed away over the weekend. It was a little unexpected and we need a little time.
Things may well be patchy on the store over the next few days. My good friend has stepped in and is getting on top of shipping notes etc and I expect orders will go out as normal until Thursday. There will be no shipping on Friday or Saturday this week.
If you emailed me since Saturday night it may be a day or two until I reply, but I will get to you eventually.
I'll catch up with you all soon.

    I'm so sorry to hear that, Claire. Please tell your husband that I am so sorry. It is a hard thing to loose your Mom, especially at the young age that you two are at, and as it was unexpected, it is even harder. You all will be in my prayers.

Take as long as you need and don't worry about the business - we will all still be here when you are ready to get back to normal. Your family must come first and your husband must be devastated, so please pass on our love.
