I remember when you attended Devonshire Preschool in Bermuda. Your parents were truly great advocates for you. It is so nice to see how your life has turned out. You have persevered and conquered challenges along the way and strive to continue learning. I’m sure you are a great teacher and will instill these same qualities in your students because you “live and walked in their shoes.”
I wish you many many blessings for years to come. Remember these words, “What you are, is God’s gift to you. What you make of yourself, is your gift to God.” You are a gift! Congratulations again.

You were both delightful students back in your Northlands Secondary schooldays, and you grew into great parents to Megan. She is doing so splendidly she must have surpassed all your expectations, and that is a truly exhilarating feeling.

They were determined to make your life as easy as possible. So nice to see how you’ve grown!
