My mom has always been my biggest fan and supporter.
She taught me about so many things, but especially baking. She not only shared her recipes with me, but then showed me how to make my grandmother's kolaches that we sell out of every week.
I lost my sweet mom yesterday, after a painful year of her valiantly fighting cancer.
I'm taking some time off this week to help my dad, plan a funeral, cry my eyes out and celebrate my mother's wonderful life.
I am so lucky to have such an incredible team who stepped right up to the plate today and told me: we've got this.
Thank you so much Lisa, Hallee, Becky and Tomi. You came through for me today and I know you will continue through the week.
Please excuse my slow replies through email and instant messenger. I am trying to stay up on everything but recommend a call to the bakery for a quicker response.
And if you stop in this week, please give my team a high five for being amazing. I am a blessed boss for sure.
