On Friday my best friend’s daughter died. She was seven weeks old. An autopsy revealed no obvious cause of death, so it seems that dear Abigail died of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

I’m not going to go into a ton of details, but I do want to mention this. My friend has worked for Jason’s Deli for a long time, and most recently has served as the regional catering manager for the area surrounding Orlando, FL. Jason’s has been an amazing employer during this time. They are paying to fly Abigail back to our hometown, where she will be interred. They sent an e-mail to all employees asking for donations to help pay for the services, and whatever isn’t covered the owner himself has offered to pay for. They are also transferring my friend back home (incidentally, where Jason’s was founded), because she and her family do not want to be in Florida anymore.

So, I’d like to ask anyone who lives near a Jason’s to start going there regularly, if you don’t already. They really do have the best salad bar you’ll ever find, and loads of other good, healthy food. God bless good employers.
