There are truly no words to fully express my gratitude for the prayers, cards, flowers, and phone calls you shared with me during my recent surgery. Your kindness and thoughtfulness meant more than I can say.
During a time when I needed encouragement most, your outpouring of love and support lifted my spirit and reminded me how blessed I am to be part of such a caring group. I would especially like to thank my staff, Robert Coleman, Amy Maiolo, Joseph Swint, and Aiden Moore , for the excellent job they did taking care of Printing Services in my absence. Your dedication and teamwork are deeply appreciated.
May GOD richly bless each of you for the compassion you have shown.
With love and heartfelt thanks,
