To the Editor:

Hello family, friends, and Laurie's Casual Cuts clients. It's been several months since I officially became owner. So proud, honored, overjoyed, and eager for our new journey together with so much love shared during the transition.

Everyone has made the start enjoyable, and I appreciate your understanding whether it was dealing with the changing of hands to the credit card machine issues. Thank you all for the support for all of us.

I, as owner, promise you to always do my best at filling the shoes of the amazing women who made this all possible from the ground up!

Sarah Burnham and Jody Shwartfigure, without either of you this would not and could not have gone as smoothly. You ladies are wonderful and I am so appreciative for everything you have done. Most importantly, thank you for sticking with me. I promise to you we will rock this for many more years to come.

To my family and my clients, without you all this would not have happened. I want to thank each and every one of you for making me what I am today.

Lastly, to my rock, my backbone, my number one fan, my husband; thank you for supporting me and making all my dreams come true! Thank you also for teaching me that anything you want in life can be achieved with hard work. Thank you for standing behind me and believing in me. I love you.
