Dear Friends,
As we prepare to close this chapter for our family at With Heart & Soul, we want to send one final note of gratitude to the people who made these years so meaningful.
First, we want to recognize our incredible employees, past and present, who have been such an important part of this business and our lives. We are especially grateful for Pam Shalvoy, our longest-tenured employee and the very first employee hired by the prior owners. Her 19 years of loyalty, dedication, and steady presence have meant more than words can say.
We also want to thank Jolene Lancia, Renee Crissafulli, and Diane Lebrun, who have worked alongside us for the past 10 years. Their dedication, care, and friendship have meant so much to our family and helped shape the heart of With Heart & Soul. We are deeply grateful not only for all they have done, but for the many ways they have shared this journey with us.
We are also thankful for the other employees who have been part of With Heart & Soul over the years and have since moved on. Each person contributed something meaningful to this store, and we truly could not have done it without them.
To our customers, thank you for your loyalty, encouragement, and support over the past 10 years. You stood by us through so much, including COVID and the challenges that followed. Through every season, your kindness, patience, and faithfulness carried us forward. This business has always been about more than a store - it has been about relationships, community, and the privilege of serving you.
We are so thankful for the memories, friendships, and trust you have given our family. It has been an honor to be part of this community and to share in so many of life's moments with you. If you have a moment over the next week, please stop by so we can thank you in person.
As Kim Lombardi begins this exciting new chapter, we do so with deep confidence and joy. With Kim stepping into ownership and Jolene Lancia continuing in her role, we know With Heart & Soul will remain in wonderful hands.
Thank you again for everything. This chapter of our lives will always remain close to our hearts, and we will always carry your kindness, support, and friendship with us.
With love and gratitude,
Michelle, Katie & John
