Words like hugs, bear hugs, strength, lots of hugs, healing wishes, good thoughts and positive attitude.

Love the inspirational quotes & beautiful calendar to keep track of dr. appts.

I didn’t know what I needed but each phone call, text, video get well message, get well card, candy, hug, calendar, quote on canvas, journal and flowers were gifts that made me smile.

My co-workers immediately took over my duties and assured me they would handle it. They said, “Get well and don’t worry.”

My high school best friend took off from work and drove 2.5 hours to spend the day and take me to lunch. It had been years since we spent that much time together. It was like going back in time when we would talk non-stop about everything!
