"Just days before the reopening, the owner of the Azana Salon and Spa in Brookfield talked more about the mass shooting that killed three and injured four in October.WISN 12 News' Portia Young sat down with Tami Gemmell for a one-on-one conversation.Gemmell was on a plane when the carnage began, arriving in Milwaukee about four hours later.\"And when you walked in what did you see?\" Young asked\"My sister,\" Gemmell said.\"What did she say to you?\" Young asked.\"Well, I saw her from across the way, and she was leaning on a parking partition, and she had a towel on her head, and she was barefooted,\" Gemmell said.Gemmel said she doesn't want to know every detail from that day but knows that her employee and friend Zina Daniel was getting coffee when Radcliffe Haughton showed up.Police said Daniel was Haughton's target.\"She (Daniel) was stoic, and it just makes me think that so many of these women suffer in silence. People don't talk about this,\" Gemmell said.Not knowing is part of her catharsis, so is reopening in the same space under the same name.\"The counselors say you have to get back into your normal routine. Unfortunately, for many of us, that wasn't possible because the building was destroyed, portions of it were destroyed and had to be rebuilt,\" Gemmell said.Out of 65 employees, Gemmel said four decided to quit. She understands, but admitted their leaving stings a bit.An accountant by trade, Gemmel has kept every employee paid during the closure -- part with insurance and part from her own pocket.Insurance fully covered the renovation, which was extensive.\"It was like seeing your home after a flood,\" Gemmell said.Haughton tried to burn the place down, but the sprinklers snuffed out that plan.With the outpouring of support from the families, and the community, Gemmel said his plan to bring lasting pain won't work either.\"There is beauty that will come out of these ashes. That's what we do. I'm not angry at all,\" Gemmell said.The salon is set to reopen Saturday.\u00A0Gemmell said as of Monday, $41,000 was in the Azana victims fund at Associated Bank. That fund is for the families of those killed and wounded.Security in building will be the same, although the front doors are now transparent."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
