I am honored to have this name attached to my daughter's genetic syndrome.

My 17-year-old daughter, Tanela, has Noonan Syndrome.

Dr. Noonan, the tenacity with which you discovered Noonan Syndrome and the exemplary life's work that you have done, there is no doubt you are truly worthy of

CASTLE CONNOLLY'S NATIONAL PHYSICIAN OF THE YEAR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.

All those who have been touched by your life's

achievements are more knowledgeable,

I know, as my family is among those.

You have helped to blaze a trail for women, doctors, students, professors, families and most importantly, your

care of patients.

Your support to The Noonan Syndrome Support Group, Inc.

is invaluable. We appreciate you & your dedication

more than we can say.

Thank you could never be enough.
Blessings,
Karen S. Durbin
