Saying goodbye
Is never easy ....
ACCEPT
when you are also wishing
the best
In their next chapters of life
Today
was Paula's last day of working
At creative choice thrift store
She will certainly be missed
by coworkers, volunteers,
& customers alike
Paula made friends with everyone
Greeting each of the regulars by name
&
Asking visitors where they were from
To engage in friendly conversation
As the assistant manager
she went above and beyond
Always doing not only her job
But with great consideration and patience
she readily helped all other employees too
Paula welcomed all customers
Entering the shop
With her refreshing smile
&
Offering to help
bring in donations
Or to find
what they were looking for
She worked to keep the shop
Up to code, clean, and organized
Always reorganizing as needed
On top of her routine work
she solely researched,
processed, & displayed
all of the donated jewelry
She also went above & beyond duty
Taking clothing home to wash stains out
Or bringing her personal tools in
To make repairs or improvements as needed
& to hang or put together things for display
There was seemingly nothing
that Paula couldn't or wouldn't do
To make sure customers
had a safe & happy shopping experience
& that fellow employees
could easily work the job
The world needs more Paula's....
Who spread unconditional love
with all evenly & alike
Here's to YOU Paula
