Dear Nancy,

Thank you.  After 33 years at the BCCRC, your wealth of knowledge and experience is irreplaceable and your presence in the lab will be missed! Thank you for all that you have done for us because without  you, a lot of experiments would not have happened! We wish you all the best in the next exciting chapter of your life! Please visit :)

Sincerely,

The Bennewith Lab members
