Farewell to Shells

For those of you that follow our main blog from time to time, you may notice that I typically only post to this blog for signficant events that affect us from a company perspective, or at times also personally.

This is one of those occasions.

Shelly Mayo has been an integral part of Whitney Blair Custom Homes for the past 7 years, but frankly it seems she's been with us for as long as the company has been in existence. We've never quite had an employee like 'Shells', our term of endearment for her, as Shelly gives her all to our company 24/7....working many late nights, coming in on weekends, all at her discretion...certainly not required by us. She did this because Shelly gives 200% to everything she does and will do whatever is necessary to support Whitney Blair, both from a professional and personal perspective. I can't count the times Shelly has helped us out personally, whether helping us transport the dogs as needed, being a friend and confidant to our daughters, and just basically being there for us and the company however is needed.

But again, that's just Shelly, who has a truly sincere heart for helping others. I've learned a lot from Shelly over the past 7 years, and will work hard to remember her kindness & to pass that on to others.

Transitions are never easy...particularly when an employee becomes a true friend and family member. So for those of you that may not know, Shelly will be moving on to new life adventures outside of Whitney Blair. We wish her much happiness, while she takes time to travel & be with her family, and basically just to enjoy life to the fullest...wherever that make take her.

We'll miss you Shells.
