Joanne,

Best wishes for your family and your new career, excitement on both fronts!! I'm another new to the forum, but I appreciate all you've done to make it what it is today - a very special place to be indeed!! Your presence has been felt in my short time here, and it will be missed!

All happiness to you and yours!

It's been quite a wild ride hasn't it Joanne but you know the old saying, all good things must come to an end.

Good luck with your new endeavor, if you put as much love into it as you have done so here for all these years I'm sure you'll have nothing but success.

Congratulations on the new baby on the way, your little guy must be really excited at the prospect of a new baby brother or sister!

Finally, Thank You! You have been a wonderful administrator for this site, your kindness and honesty have always been appreciated.

What can I say that other people haven't? Not a lot, other than that it already feels strange that our OGBSSM won't be present 'behind' the site any more! You've been so patient, and so kind, and have brought the site and especially the message board through some strange times. You're inextricably linked in my mind, but I suppose all good things must come to their end

Best of luck with your new career - we all know you have the talent to pull it off; and also best wishes for your ever-increasing family.

Yours in perpetual admiration

Though I haven't had a chance to be on the OKP very long I still appreciate everything you have done for this board and the site. I'm sorry to see you go! Best wishes for the future!!

You guys rock - thank you for these messages of support and encouragement, and to those of you who have contacted me privately, thank you as well.

You are all amazing, and I will never forget you

Keep Chatting!

Hi Joanne!

Congratulations on your next arrival. Not having been on the board much since it was 'condensed', I hadn't realized the changes until recently, but I do want to take the opportunity to thank you very much for all of your wonderful work on the GBS board I was introduced to, and for your help and mediation over the past few years. You have always been the emblem of peace, diplomacy, and reason.

I wish you all the best Joanne, and another sincere thank you Slainte!

Joanne!

You will be missed. Thanks so much for all the help and guidance and patience you've shown, especially to some of the questions I presented earlier this year. Yes, I'm really THAT much of a pain in all aspects of my life!

Congratulations on your new career and upcoming happy event! It's always great to see people who deserve to getting the best of things.

Cheers and stop back soon....

Hi Joanne
I am going to miss you alot as I am sure we all will. I just want to say thanks for all the support you have given to me in times of need. Specially when my grandfather passed. You'll be missed by all the fans who know you also by the one's who did not get the chance to know you I am sure. Most of all you'll be missed by Great Big Sea themselves. You've been the most loyal and hard working advocate for GBS for nearly a decade. Wow it's weird to say that. It's a really long time to be doing what you have done for this site. Also a big congrats with the soon to be new addition to the family. I am very happy for you. Thanks for putting your email addey out there for us to keep in touch with you. Anyhow take care and be well. April.

THANK YOU JOANNE! I know it's a bit late. There isn't much more I can add, but I had to pass on my appreciated as well. You've done an incredible job here the past 10 years. You my dear have the patience of a saint. Good luck with the new baby, and everything that comes your way. You will be missed.
