Notes of Gratitude:
- This is a note of heartfelt appreciation to the Nursing Staff, one of the finest departments we have here at Nazareth.
From the personnel in the Health Office, who so graciously assisted me with scheduling and rescheduling my appointments, to the wonderful staff on the second floor who cared for me following my gallbladder surgery—you have all been a true blessing.
I am deeply grateful for the love, support, and encouragement you so generously shared with me. I will always cherish your kindness and the beautiful spirit with which you care for others.
Thank you for all that you do each day. May God bless each of you abundantly as you continue your ministry of healing and compassionate care.
— Luke Boiarski, SCN
- Thank you to all of our Sisters, Associates and other friends who have been such a support to me and my family during my sister Joady’s recent illness and passing. How blessed we are to have all of you in our lives.
— Tonya Severin, SCN and Severin family
