Hi Joan,
Best wishes as you move into this new and very exciting chapter of your life. Weirdly enough, I think it's what we work our whole life for - to stop working! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication these past 4 years. I enjoyed working with you. I wish you many years ahead of laughter, relaxation, and good health. Best wishes always, Sherry Lehane
