There were many times I wanted to give up and was very close to ending it all for a less than ideal amount, but your support and compassion restored my faith in the system. I can’t describe or show how thankful I am for all the work you and the team put in, the weekend emails and late night calls to keep me in the know.

When it was time to settle, your fearlessness in negotiating an amount showed as we were able to settle for more than we could ever of dreamt of. You have set us up for life, and made it a lot easier to re-establish my life with my injury.

It is bittersweet as I feel like I’m saying goodbye to a dear friend and support network even though you have said you’re still here if I’m in need.

For loss of a better word, Thank you so much for everything!
