Hi Mannie
I think everyone has already expressed my sentiments but I would
like to say a particular thanks for all the support and expertise you
have given to the HEEO Network - you will be very deeply missed.
I hope that your move will herald the start of much happier days for
you, and that wonderful smile will be heartfelt from now on.
Don't go too far Mannie!
All the very best
Michele
