To Everyone:
It has been my honor and privilege to serve as your leader. I hope you know that everything I have ever tried to teach you and instill in your spirit has come from a sincere desire to make us all better for God. Please take pride in knowing that you have always been the light of my vision and the beacon of my artistry. Every one of you has embodied the essence of my creative mind and served as a manifestation of my dream of accomplishment.
May God forever bless and keep you, knowing that you will always be my most cherished children.
I am stepping down . . . but not away.
Forever Yours, with my prayers for A Happy And Blessed Life!
