Christina, you are an A+ student, as far as I’m concerned. You are an excellent person to be at our Front Desk & an excellent friend, as well. You always know what to say. Team Angel rocks. And rolls. And/Or ‘whatever’.

It depends on the person & situation. Empathetic tears help me feel acknowledged & not so alone. Every one is so different!
