A sad, sweet goodbye from a nice patron

[Marxfan]

I used to have one of the sweetest, nicest patrons in the world. She had one of those naturally cheerful faces and always had a pleasant thing to say. She'd always have a lot of holds, but was always patient and understanding if we couldn't find them all at once. Well, a few months ago, a co-worker told me that said nice patron told her to tell me personally good-bye!
It turns out the poor woman had been unemployed for months, and was evicted from her apartment and had to move!
I felt awful, I had no idea that she was in such bad way financially. From her sweet nature, no one would ever guess. I haven't heard from her, and I have no idea if she's coming back. I just hope she's doing better and has found a job.
