Thank you for all the support and input you have had, and with providing us with the tools, skills and confidence to do this. Laurayne, it was almost like you were there with me today. Your mentoring, coaching and wisdom has been invaluable.

Thank you for your wise counsel, your inspiration and belief in us.
