But I’m sorry to tell you that I’m not gone forever – so don’t get the flags out just get – cause I’ll be back to visit! Thanks for everything."

"Thank you to all the staff for supporting me for everything – I love you all."

"Thank you for all you have done and how much you have helped me. When I first arrived, I was lost and hurt and confused. But you all helped, showed me who I was and what I could do if I believed. I will never forget you."

"I like it here, I like my flat because I have my very own personal space."
