03.01.2022 A quick farewell message to all. As my time at SFMC comes to a close I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for sharing with me over the years. To all those patients that popped their heads into my office just to say hi or share family news, smiles and tears or a joke with me. For the plants and cuttings shared from your garden to mine and everything else. I wish you all health and happiness for the future. Will miss the Team at SFMC but promise to pop in from time to time for a catch up. Have a safe and Merry festive season everyone. Love Carolyn
