5/26/22—Dear Ms. Holloran: I don’t know how to begin to say thank you for seeing me for my knee injury during your lunch break! As you know, I am new in the area and I am extremely grateful to Linda for pointing me in your direction and for your time and expertise! I was able to care for Noah on Tuesday without skipping a beat! Your kindness will always be remembered! With sincere appreciation, Donna C.

Dear Ms. Holloran: Want to let you know that my hip feels great! Bursitis is gone… at least for now. Thank you for helping me and all the help you give to others! Have a good summer! — Harriet H.

Dear Mary-Jo, Yule Tide Greetings: Thank you so much for the cortisone shot that you gave me. It really did help alot. Though I still have some discomfort and must walk slowly. It’s cut the unbearable pain alot and also given me hope that total recovery is possible (I hope soon). I also plan to start taking the Tylenol arthritis pain pill samples today, then maybe I can go grocery shopping. I wish I had come in for x-rays right away – instead of enduring the severe pain for weeks. If I have pain like this ever again I will come in for another c. shot a.s.a.p.!!! Take care and many thanks once again for lifting my spirits and helping me get much needed relief from chronic pain... Peace and joy -- Joan G.

Dear Mary Jo: Taking the time to thank you for directing me to the proper place for my buttock pain. Your injections take care of a lot of it – my knees are fine, I can walk around shopping and cleaning my house, which I could not do before. So again thanks! I consider you a friend, more than my knee specialist. Thank you for everything you do. -- Dolores C.

May, 2014 — Dear Mary Jo: Thank you for taking the time to explain my husband’s pet scan results and for getting him in so quickly for a shot. You were so kind to ask how I was doing. There is a difficult road ahead. It helps to have caring people. Thanks again for your compassion. -- Karen R.

Thank you again. -- Sincerely, Brittany K.

Dear Mary Jo: There’s a sincerity in everything you do that makes it clear that nursing is far more than just a job to you… You’re a wonderful nurse, and Nurses Day is the perfect time to let you know just how much you’re appreciated. Thank you very much for all your care. -- Margie M.
