Emmanuel,
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am all choke up. I appreciate it immensely. Sometimes people wait till it's to late to tell someone how much they appreciate them. It is good when one has the opportunity to express their appreciation for their family or friends in a public gathering. There is no greater honor than that to receive praise from peers or family in public. You know then that your life had meaning. I encourage every one to serve your community the rewards are immense. I have always taught my children that your relationships with your family and friends means more than fame, riches, and power. In the end those other things will mean nothing if no one shows up to your gravesite. You reap what you sow. If you sow love, love you will receive. If you sow hate, hate you will receive.
Again Emmanuel, thank you for your service to this community and for your kind words.
Sincerely,
JOHN
