I have many Friends. Very Special Friends. I cannot remember the beginning and certainly do not see an end to the many friends I have. Thank you to all of the amazing people I work with who took the time to write me a special note. And words can not describe the feeling of appreciation to Jocelyn for making me a beautiful memory album, placing those special notes with pictures of those that wrote the notes. Jocelyn went around all the departments at Miller Children's and took pictures of Staff, Nurse's, Doctor's, and other friends I have made over the past 8 1/2 years I have worked there. I hope you can all have a chance to see this awesome book!

Thank you to Marc and Chuck who opened their home for this special "Going Away" party. Marc you will forever be my mentor, friend, listening ear, and the one who gave a description to those crazy thoughts and pictures that run through our heads. You know the ones that cause you to become insane that we see over and over again. Marc calls them "Head Movies". What an awesome way to describe those crazy things.

Thank you Becky and Jason, Karen, Freda, Tamara and Wayne, Alicia and Keith, Holly, Maria, Jocelyn and John (A special Thank you to John for putting up with Jocelyn while she spent endless hours at home working on the album...drink up) and Marc and Chuck. Rob and I had a great time at the party. thank you for coming. Thank you everyone who wanted to come and could not due to previous engagements, I know how busy we get...You we all missed.
