Long sad post below.....😞
Yesterday we lost our beloved Rebecca. She went peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.
A few weeks ago she went to the doctors for some pains and ended up having stage 4 lung cancer that had spread through other parts of her body. After a couple weeks of treatment her body just couldn't take it.
I first met Rebecca 24 plus years ago when she was a food salesperson that supplied food to the sandwich shop my family owned. One day while I was working with some friends installing snow plows and mixing treated salt ( one being Al Schulze ) I find out that Al and Rebecca are married and we were both surprised that I knew his wife! This just solidified our friendship even more. Eventually Morabito Lawn Care LLC needed some book keeping help. He mentioned Rebecca, I said " of course! I already know and trust and love her! this will be great! " and boy was it great. She helped me gain some free time that I had lost trying to run a proper business. She also helped this business grow into what it is today. 16 employees, 25+ trucks and trailers, many pieces of equipment, 100+ lawns, cranes taking trees down, Docusign contracts, dealing with attorneys, helping expand services, helping integrate software to help manage the business. She was our HR department. She was our book keeper. She was our office manager. She was the one who kept my spending in check. She was the one who told me to go for it when I had wild business ideas. She was there in my home office, then in our basement office as we grew, then eventually we got her an official office on our official property where she took care of everything under the sun and was able to bring her dog to work with her and had a beautiful space to work in. She was so much more than a book keeper, more like a business partner. We had been friends for so long. She was with us 16 years. She helped develop all of the processes we use to run the business today. We are at a loss here. Our heart goes out to her husband Al, her daughter Julia, and everyone else who lost Rebecca yesterday. Our hearts are broken for you Al. We will all get through this together, but for now we are going to be mourning...
We are leaving the Go Fund Me up for another week or so in case anyone feels inclined to donate. Al now has a lot to deal with at home and we want to keep him afloat until he's back in his shop creating again. A HUGE thank you to everyone who gave already - you're all rockstars.
