I want to thank all of you for the beautiful flowers you sent me in support of the last two weeks. I want you to know how much I appreciate all of the kind words and emotional support you have been for me. Knowing I have only been with you for 10 weeks, you all have a very special place in my heart! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
