members of the service for all their
hard work and dedication. You guys
have been amazing and I will always
have a special place in my heart for
each and every one of you. There is
a saying that ‘all good things come
to an end;’ but I disagree… I like to
say ‘all good things become great
memories.’ Take care of one another
and stay safe!”
