Saying GoodBye to a Good Friend
23 Jan 2011 Leave a Comment
Today I went to a “Celebration of Life”. My friend, and client, Sara Earl passed away almost two weeks ago. She fought a valiant fight against ovarian cancer. She leaves behind her Mom, Son and his wife and two kids, two Daughters and a Sister; Many extended relatives, friends, business associates, clients and beloved pets. She had a degree in Interior Design but made her 30 year career in Real Estate. She was quite the Agent. She sold us our last house. So professional.
I have been her stylist for almost 15 years. She has given me lots of great advice. She’s been one of my most loyal clients ever. She asked me to shave her head when the chemo took effect.
It’s not everyday, fortunately, that someone asks you into their home to shave the hair that you’ve styled for a decade. I think we both handled it fairly well, no tears (until I got to the car). She even let a close friend take a picture of her with no hair. It is a stunning portrait.
She leaves behind quite the legacy. She touched many lives in 60 years time. I am grateful to have known her. I will miss her.
