Happy Valentine’s Day, Danielle Viera!
Thank you so much for keeping our team coordinated and on track.

You are very appreciated.

The Audit Management Team

I just wanted to say ever since I left one office and came to Bourne PC, I have felt welcomed and appreciated by every single employee. I feel we work as a team, and we all help each other no matter what our position is. As the scheduler, I just want to thank the whole office for being such an amazing team to work with, and I hope to continue to keep the teamwork going—and also, most importantly, keep the fun and smiles throughout the office, while getting SO much work done daily!

Inpatient Pharmacy has shown me so many new skills. I thank you for being there for me, and if I make a mistake, you were right there for me to help me fix it. Thank you for the best internship.

The person that I appreciate is Patty from food service. Some of the reasons why I appreciate her is that she is very helpful, kind, caring and supportive of me when I am working in the cafeteria, and she is always checking on me to make sure I am doing OK and if I need anything. Another reason I appreciate her is that she is always making me laugh when I am around her and joking around with me. Another reason I appreciate her is that she always makes my day better, even when I am not having a good day. I wouldn’t be the worker I am today without the support and all the care Patty has given me. This is one of the most amazing internships I have ever had, and I am very excited to start working with her after I graduate this year.

Dear Patty,
Thank you for always saying “hi” and saying good morning to me. Thanks for giving some good feedback that I should work on. Thank you for showing me how to do a bottle-facing. I really appreciate you for always being there if I have any questions to ask. I just want to say thanks for letting me be part of your team. Every day when I walk into the cafeteria, I feel like I'm part of the team.

Sincerely,

Dear Tony in Housekeeping Department,

You are a very great mentor to me. I am writing this letter to you because today is Valentine’s Appreciation Week. You have helped me a lot in housekeeping.

You are a good person and a great guy. I am going to miss working with you in housekeeping. I appreciate you because you go to the loading dock with me and you check if I need anything. That’s why I appreciate you. If I make a mistake, you are right by my side. You show me how to stock the spray bottles.
