💛 Celebrating Ayako
Last Friday, Ayako finished her final day with our team, and we made sure she didn’t leave without a proper celebration.
Past and present colleagues joined friends and family at the store to congratulate Ayako and celebrate her retirement.
It was a joyful occasion, but a bittersweet one for our Home family. We’re so happy for Ayako and everything that awaits her, but the store simply won’t feel the same without seeing her each day.
From the very beginning, Ayako brought radiant warmth and positivity to our team. She always had a kind word to share, a smile to offer and a wonderful way of making the people around her feel brighter.
We could fill this entire caption with words of appreciation and still come up short.
Thank you, Ayako, for everything you have brought to our team, our customers and our community. You will be deeply missed and forever appreciated.
Happy Retirement, Ayako! Please join us in wishing her all the very best. 💐
