As I mentioned in our first meeting you have a special gift of making one feel so comfortable and at ease.
This process has been very emotional and embarrassing for me and I can’t thank you enough for your support and helping me get through it.
I apologize if I embarrassed you with my hugs of gratitude which I realize was very unprofessional of me but I guess my emotions got the best of me!
Hope to talk to you soon
Sincere thanks.   Pauline
