– I met: my best friend, my heart, what is always known as the best part of me – my wife Because of you.
– You have shown me how to: Love, care, survive, fight adversity, attack insecurities and how to win.
– You have strengthened my faith In God
– You have made my prayer life a priority
– Fighting through physical pain and fatigue were bench marks of success.
– Through all the lessons learned in this great Silo, you taught me how to love all religions, races, economic classes and genders.
