Dear PCI Family,

As we reflect on this past year, many of us have faced personal loss, and our nation has endured its own challenges. Moments like these remind us of what truly matters—how fragile life can be and how precious the time we spend with those we love. These shared moments, whether big or small, enrich our lives in meaningful ways that no material possession ever could.

For me, the greatest blessings are the love and connection of family and friends. Through laughter, shared experiences, and cherished memories, these relationships create a wealth far greater than anything money can buy. Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving with a large gathering, enjoy a quiet meal with loved ones, or find peace in solitude, it is the people you share your heart with—not the food on the table—that make this day truly special. That, to me, is the essence of Thanksgiving.

This season, I want each of you to know how deeply grateful I am for you. Even when we cannot be physically together, you remain close to my heart. I consider myself blessed to have you in my life. As we honor the memory of those no longer with us, may we find comfort in knowing they live on in our hearts. I also ask that we keep in our thoughts and prayers the brave men and women serving our country, many of whom are far from home during this holiday.

When we pause to count our blessings, we realize that the most meaningful gifts are often the simplest: the love of family, the support of friends, and the gift of good health.

From our family to yours, I wish you a blessed and peaceful Thanksgiving.

With warmest wishes, Dr. Sharon, Ernie, Ted & Sezer Small
