Hope After Tragedy
At this time in our holiday season, I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to all those whose lives have forever been changed by the loss or injury of a loved one. We share a close bond for the rest of our lives.
The outpouring of love and concern that has been shown to me and my family over the past few weeks will never be forgotten.
Special thanks and appreciation go to Ray Gonzales, the staff at St. John’s Hospital and the Employment Development Department.
In our diverse community, if anything can come from this tragedy that occurred on Dec. 2, it is the awareness that we are all interconnected, and we must join together with kindness and compassion to bring a new meaning and purpose to our lives.
May God bless you all.
