We salute you on this most auspicious and merited celebration. You have truly epitomized the definition of a servant’s heart.

Serving the Master has been reflected through years of missionary endeavors. When God determined man needed a helpmate, you were one of many he had in mind.

Not only have you dedicated yourself as Missionary Supervisor but truly blessed Bishop as a loving virtuous wife imparting your impeccable administrative skills.

As retirement rapidly approaches it is our prayer that you live it to the fullest.
