You are my heroes too. ♥️

It has been a privilege to work with you while I learned why inclusion is of paramount importance. There is light in darkness when there are people dedicated enough to serve the needs of others. You have taught me to work with compassion, lead with empathy, and to remember to go where one is needed.

Thank you for sharing your expertise and resources in these trying times. I shall always be praying for your whole team's safety and of your families.
