JAG, words will never be able to contain how deep my love for you is but I pray that, in the likeness of Jesus, it is evident by the way I live and the way I care for all of you.

May we all reflect the Lord’s love, not only today but all the days of our lives.
With much love and deep prayers because of Jesus,
