“But after 10 years, it takes its toll on you physically, mentally and emotionally and now we feel is good a time as any to concentrate on ourselves and recharge our batteries and spend quality time with each other and our kids.

“We would like to thank each and everyone of you guys for your continued support over the years and to the staff both past and present for all your help during your time with us.

“What started off as a whim turned out to be one of the best chances we took in life and one we’re glad we took.”
