HOLIDAY GREETINGS FROM SUE AND WARD
Dear Friends,
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller
Whether we deck the halls or light the candles, we are reminded that the visible holiday symbols are but an expression of that which embodies the joys of the holiday season. Regardless of the holiday one might celebrate, there is a common theme that permeates this time of year. It is felt in the workplace, in the homes of friends and family and in our home here on Western Avenue. A smile, a gift, laughter, and holiday food all come together to enhance the lives of those we serve. To rekindle a memory or help to make a new one are gifts that our team graciously and joyfully gives to those entrusted to our care. While being witness to these moments, we cannot help but agree with Helen Keller - "they must be felt with the heart."
Please know that our work is a gift of love and respect. We are grateful to have this opportunity to celebrate the holiday season with each and every member of our family. From our home to yours, we send you holiday joy and the warmth of the season.
