A few hours ago my co-workers and I heard the news that my senior director had passed away this morning. Ellen had been battling cancer. Honestly, I was not prepared for this to happen so soon and I still feel a bit numb. The news is still settling in. Over the past few months there have been moments when I have imagined that I heard Ellen’s voice or that I smelled her perfume (something by Estee Lauder) while I was in the office. Even though she retired a few months ago it always felt like she should come back-like she was on an extended vacation. It’s quiet on our floor today. The somber mood is palpable. Please remember Ellen’s college-aged daughter, and her family, friends, and co-workers in prayer today. We’d appreciate it.
I commonly find solace in music and this is one of those moments in time. So today my Thursday Thirteen is about music.
