I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone that has reached out, donated, shared and supported our gofundme and our family during this difficult time. We’ve unfortunately had to reschedule Mom’s service twice due to the weather and will be moving her service to February 8th.
The gofundme is still live and any additional donations are absolutely appreciated as we wait on the status of any survivor benefits that may help with mom’s final expenses.
The truth is… every time I’ve tried to post anything I’m left speechless. I panic and freeze up because what do you say??? How do you go about business as usual when the world is seemingly on fire and then the brightest star in your sky fades away???
I’m not in a good place and to be completely honest; I have been existing in what can only be described as survival mode for the past year. The accident, subsequent health issues and financial burden of running a small business in this economy most definitely took its toll on what normally is the busiest time of year for the bakery.
I love my business very much and have been absolutely blessed with an amazing community that continues to show up for us and other small businesses across our city.
I ask that you continue to do so as we have recently lost so many staples to our vibrant food scene just this past week.
These establishments are apart of what makes Greensboro who we are and a city that I’m proud to call my home.
All that being said, Black Magnolia Southern Patisserie will remain closed this week as we continue to prepare for our life without Mom.
The bakery needs to be open, but I can’t provide super scrumptious baked goods with a broken heart.
Please continue to support local businesses and please stay tuned for updates on our reopening, new menu and more.
Love to you all.
Sincerely,
Veneé ❤️
