Letters To The Editor, Meeker

Letter to the Editor: Please be patient and trust the process

Dear Editor:
This is a request to all of my amazing customers and community:
Meeker Drugs will be changing hours and processes just for the next 8 weeks. My staff will do their very best to maintain customer satisfaction and continue to provide the level of service you deserve however, I need to ask you for patience and kindness.
I need to be transparent and keep the rumor mill at bay. I have a medical issue that needs to be addressed immediately. I have to have open heart surgery to remove a tumor that has taken up residence in my left atrium, a Myxoma. I will need to have 6-8 weeks recovery.
I truly believe the “accidental” discovery was a gift of time to plan and prepare so that my being out of commission would not affect my friends, family and devoted customers. When in all truth it was a gift of immediate action so that I do not suffer a much more debilitating, life threatening situation.
In our small town staffing is an issue, you all know, I not only own but am the key employee and Jans right hand man at Meeker Drugs. You also know I have an incredible staff that are well trained and are willing to step up to the plate to be for a few weeks.
I hope you understand and accept my apology for any inconveniences. But together we can make this work for all of us for the next 8 weeks.

Sincerely,
Diana Jones
Meeker Drug
