One user commented, "Family is the most important! Long after you’re gone, no one will remember how much extra time you put in at the office, but your kids will remember all the times you were there and involved. The same goes for parents. When they are gone, you will cherish every moment you get to spend with them. Great pic, and cherish this time!"
Another added, “Enjoy! We appreciate your time at X." Another added, “Linda, keep us updated when you consider a new move. Enjoy your time off.”
