Margarite:

You need a rest and have gone above and beyond for every HIV+ woman.  I
understand how hard travel is and know it is exhausting when you live miles
and miles away.

You have my utmost respect for all you have accomplished and will be missed
by everyone.  We are there for you whenever you need us to talk to and
there will be lots of communication to come, I am sure.

Now it is your turn and I want to thank you for all you have done to help
others.

Denise
