Anita puts down her coffee cup and licks the excess coffee off of her lips before smiling softly. Nodding towards her dear crewleader, Whatsername, she turns to the streets.

Family & friends, good evening.  I am most disappointed to have to address you in this manner.  The truth is....

I found a man ta lay.  No No ladies, it's not RichardWad.  My man is back in the old country and he's waiting for me.  I have had the pleasure of meeting and greeting many of you.  Alot of you I have not had the pleasure of meeting but trust me, it was my intention to cross paths with you eventually.  Sadly my time here has come to a close.

I come here to the streets publically to address a few things. First of all, those of you who do not appreciate or respect this Thing of Ours, you are truly missing out on a more fulfilling family life.  The people I have grown close to here are some of the best people in the world (and I mean that) and I wouldn't trade my times here for anything.  I hope to return someday soon, but for now, I must go.  Secondly,  don't allow repetition to stifle your creativity.  It is possible to define yourself amongst the everyday mafioso's.  I urge you to strive to be better.  It is my one regret in this life that my bloodlines did not work harder than they did.  I know my family lines have it in them to be great.  And lastly? Respect your elders. They have been here for generations upon generations, and they do know best.  I urge you to learn from those around you. 

With that, I'd like to extend my love and gratitude to my family, the Long Island Leopards.  I have had the pleasure of serving Whatsername's family line for the past year and I would not trade it for the world.  My familia means alot to me, and I will miss you all.  Oh and Vector? You still owe me a few statements Anita winks Don't think I'm not going to pass that part along.

I wish you all the best, I hope to return soon and in the meantime; be honorable, respectful and aware of the Omerta Code.  Otherwise, you will always be lost.

With that being said, Anita distinguishes her last cigarette and finishes the last sip of her coffee before heading towards the airport and the old country, tears in her eyes the whole time.

(OOC: Due to family issues, I am no longer able to dedicate the time that this place deserves.  I know it's a bit redundant to make a street speech about my departure, but I felt it necessary due to the ties I have here.  I will honestly miss this place and hope I can return very soon. I'll be seeing you all in the coffeeshops when I can.

Anita it has been a pleasure just as it was for my mother months ago. You have always been a strong and caring family member and you will be missed here in Long Island. I know you will be back over here for a visit one day. Maybe you will bring the new family along for a visit too. So I do not say good bye only see you for now.

(I hope everything turns out for the best for you outside of this place. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.)

You will be truly missed. You have filled my ears with harmony every since the day we met. That's one lucky man you have waiting on the other side!

(You will be missed, take care of yourself and I hope everything turns out for the better. You know where you'll always have a friend to talk too!)

Sorry to see you leave. I hope all works out for you. You will be truely missed.

Sad to see you go, sister, but I trust that you will find much more rewarding achievements back in the old country.

Well played my dear it has been a pleasure running with around the streets of our fair cities, may you find pleasure in the things that the future holds for you.

Such sad news that you have to leave this thing of ours Anita. It's been great having you in the family and you'll be sorely missed by us all.

I'll be saving up those statements to get my debt repayed, thats a promise!, so I hope your daughter is soon back on these shores to collect them from me :)

Hope all goes well for you in that other world.

I never had the pleasure of meeting you, however just from the way you carried yourself with this situation I can tell you are highly respected by your family and associates. I to respect anyone who can take the time and show so much love. Hope all goes well and as planed with your situation; farewell.
