2019 - Notes #26, 27, and 28

Once again, my note-writing has taken a backseat to other obligations and responsibilities. However, my gratitude remains in the forefront.

Notes #26 and #27 are written to more of my mom's neighbors. Over the years, they have become a tight-knit group, offering friendship and support. My mom is currently experiencing health issues that impact her daily life. Her neighbors are always there for her.

Dear Dan and Nancy,

Words are not sufficient to convey how much I appreciate everything you do for my mom. From mowing her lawn and shoveling snow, to picking up her mail and newspapers, plus sharing fun cheering for the Huskers, you are an important part of her life. Simply knowing you've been next door fills my heart with gratefulness.

Thanks also for visiting her when she was hospitalized. Your visits brighten her days.

With sincere gratitude,
Jill

Dear Bob and Barb,

Thank you for being such wonderful friends and neighbors to my mom. Barb, I know she always enjoys your morning visits and she's looking forward to seeing you at the nursing home, too. Bob, thank you for sharing your electrical expertise with her recently. She was always relieved to know she could call on the two of you to help.

Thanks for visiting her at the hospital. You'll never know how much I appreciate the two of you.

Gratefully,
Jill

My mom was recently hospitalized for a week at the local hospital. The following note is written to the staff at Phelps Memorial Health Center.

Dear PMHC Staff,

Thank you for the excellent care my mom, Ann Fuerst, received while a patient at PMHC. Professionalism and a sincere desire to serve were qualities demonstrated by everyone on staff. We especially appreciated the caring actions of the nurses, CNAs, and dietary employees. They tried every idea possible to keep her warm, comfortable, hydrated, and fed.

I will always be grateful for this wonderful care.

Thank you.
Jill
