THANK YOU, MARK!!!
« on: September 01, 2006, 04:06:40 pm »
Heard that Mark is "retiring" from this board. :'( :'( :'(

We will miss you!!  You are awesome.  You have been solid for all of us. And personally I would not have managed through my journey without you.  THANK YOU, MARK!!

Best wishes to a well-earned "retirement" from the board!!! Do come back to check on us once a while!!! 8)

Phyl - could you do your "flip over backwards" retirement cheer?  Others?

I saw Shoegirl also started a thread "Mark".  See, you will be dearly missed.

Mark - You have been such an amazing support system to all of us and I thank you so much.

You better pop in once in a while, remember I only live a couple of miles away, so I'll come looking for you  ;)

Good Luck!

Ship's purser is leaving us? OH NOOOO!!!
Well, Mark, you have been such a help to everyone here on this site and your knowledge and support, particularly to those seeking less-invasive treatment, has been immesureable.
Good Luck and come back and visit us soon.

Knowing Mark is leaving the ANA board, can I state that I'm not up for doing "flip over backwards" retirement cheer. Sorry Mary.... but, I promise I'll be doing them soon... but knowing Mark is disappearing from here....

Retirement is usually cheered.  You are right, Phyl, in this case, we are all so sad to lose a great friend on the board  :'(.

No cheers for this one.  I am actually sobbing and secretly hoping that Mark will change his mind.

Yes, life's priorities are always challenging us.  But please please Mark, do remember, you have a fan club loyal followers who are heart-broken to see you leave !!!  We will be thinking of you always.  Myself for sure!  I will still bug you and give you my update so that you know your legacy is around...
