A Letter from Marlene Lennox:
To All my dear friends and customers who have responded to the announcement of my retirement. I can only try to let everyone know how very much it meant to me. So many cards, calls, and posts I appreciated so much. As I read and reread each one, suddenly my memory takes me back to those wonderful memories of each of you. To the many beautiful past and present employees, the prom girls and boys, the lovely brides and grooms, mothers, grandmothers, me maws and great grandmothers. I love each and everyone. Thank you all for supporting me and making Lennox East the oldest Bridal store in our great state of Maryland. Your stories are my stories, and I will always remember you and be so grateful for the times we shared.
The wonderful world of fashion and bridal will always be in my heart. I was so blessed to be part of it, and l am still so blessed because of each of you. Most of all, then, now and forever I thank God, for allowing me to share his love and show his beauty in a little store named Lennox East. Going to work every day was never "going to work" for me it was a new day to meet new friends, old friends and customers. Helping in any way to meet your needs has always been my privilege and my pleasure.
I want you to know Ronnie - Ronnie comes to you highly educated, fully equipped with many talents and abilities. His sincere kindness and tenderness made me know he was the best choice to take over Lennox East. I ask all of you to join me in supporting him as you have supported me. I know he will continue in love, give honor to God for his gift and treat everyone of you with all his heart.
As I close my last chapter and Ronnie begins his first one, I pray for him always as God leads and guides him to even a greater success thru that little store named Lennox East. Lennox East was anchored and started with love. Love is our anchor and love never fails.
I thank you with all my heart and may God bless each of you always.
- Marlene Lennox
