I would like to say thank you to Joanne and her staff for their dedication and hard work. For not giving up on me and for having the strength to fight for me when I did not have the strength to fight for myself.They helped navigate me through the storm I was in and help me come throw it in one piece. Life is full of possibilities for me now. Never give up. If I could do it anybody can. Thank you Joanne and thank you to your staff. With much sincere thanks. V.L"
