Whew. Where do I even begin.. Lisa. You were my very first hire when I opened Flourish. I knew after speaking to you for 5 minutes that I wanted to take this new journey with you as a part of my core team. You were so mature and only 19 years old. You worked so hard to learn everything you could and when you wanted to know something your heart was genuine and humbled enough to ask and actually put that advice into true action. You were always seeking ways to be better in the salon and out. You wanted to connect with your brothers in a way that let them know how much you cared for them and wanted them to succeed. You were always asking advice on how to care for them whether it was school, college choices, mental health and awareness and just ways to let them know you loved them. You did it so effortlessly and took real pride in that responsibility. You emailed teachers, made dinner, went to teacher conferences, encouraged them, bought them gifts, made them laugh and found interest in the things that interested them. You were always dancing and I always came to you for dance instruction lol. I never understood why I couldn't move like you did! You made it look so easy and with such flow. You were my right hand from day one of us meeting. We cried together, laughed together, dreamed together and experienced new things together because you were never afraid to try something outside of your box.. Our laughs is what I will miss the most. You had the best laugh and would literally laugh about anything. You were a true friend to those around you and never took their trust in you for granted. Never the type to say more than necessary but when you did say anything, you meant it. You were so happy. You enjoyed life and found every opportunity to enjoy it, even if that meant going by yourself. Il never forget all of our memories and my days will never be the same again without you in it. For as long as we've worked together you were always so particular about your combs, brushes and clips and was very deliberate to keep your stuff YOUR STUFF lol. I'd always sneak your spray or black clips and I'd hurry and put them back before you noticed but you always did. You'd peak around the station and look at me. 😂😂Then say.."Sess, question?" I'd just look and you in confusion.. The last day o worked with you, you asked me about your spray and if I had used it and I finally admitted and said yes.. I told you I'd buy you a big one to replace what I used. You told me, "you know what, it's okay, I've learned to share. It's okay, you can use my stuff" .. You always knew i did.. but I would always take care of you and you of me in our own ways.. il miss you so much that words can't even describe. You were a part of my day to day life and your presence I wasn't ready nor did I ever expect to lose in this way..I'm praying for your brothers, your parents your family and every other relationship you had. Because I know this loss is one never imagined and nothing any of us could have ever prepared for. I love you..Sess
