But perhaps more than any of that, Lynn’s assistance with another
Home Helpers franchise owner shows amazing compassion and commitment to
the brand.
Jeff Fix, an owner in Red Lion, PA, died unexpectedly last year. During this very
difficult time, Lynn made the 3-hour drive to help Jeff’s wife,
Bella, keep her business running. Here’s just some of what Bella wrote
about Lynn:
You were an answer to my prayers that I prayed for those dark nights. Little
did I know what a beautiful and awe-inspiring experience awaited me. I
knew little about the files, the computer, the audit reports, the payroll
. . . I watched you gracefully tackle one issue after the next, all while
repeatedly reassuring me that everything would be OK . . . You truly are
the most intelligent, selfless, giving and compassionate person I’ve
had the honor to work with my entire life . . . I’m blessed to have
you as a friend!
What an amazing story, and for having such a remarkable year, Lynn Gardini
earned the President’s Award for 2015. Congratulations, Lynn!
