You are most definitely a successful leader. Much is required of you to help as many as you can along the way. May you continue to be blessed and successful in all that you have and will accomplish. Your success is just a beginning, there are greater things ahead. I am most proud and honored to be your mother.

Lovingly, your mother

Evelyn: I certainly don’t know you as well (nor have I known you as long!) as your mom and Delta sis, but I do know that you are a remarkable woman and an excellent attorney. Congratulations and continued success. Don
A much deserved recognition. Those who know you are not surprised, those who do not are pleasantly so. Ohio, you are so lucky to have her. Congratulations!
