I'm in the process of writing a thank you note:
Hello,
Hope things are going well for you. I wanted to write to you today to tell you how much appreciation I have for being given the opportunity in my lifetime of knowing you years ago.
Only good came into my life by knowing you. I think this is an ultimate compliment- "only good came into my life from knowing you".
It is so true, and I wanted to tell you.
Susan Pearl
