I feel blessed every day for the Tarpon Springs community – the loving people who accepted both my mom and I into their arms years ago. We have grown such a beautiful network of friends who feel like family, and I’m so grateful for the gathering that our Tarpon Springs friends organized for me before my official departure. Thank you, Kay, for your wonderful idea to put this together. Thank you, Mom, Sheridan, Kay, Katy, and absolutely everyone else who contributed to this farewell evening. I will cherish this memory forever!

I can’t express enough how appreciative I am of all the cards and thoughtful gifts I received. I am truly rich with love.

I’ve included some photos of the people I was grateful to see and spend quality time with before leaving. Enjoy!
