George and Brenda - 

 

Greetings to you.  

 

At the close of our 10 years reaching out to the students in need, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude to you for the interest and dedication you have.  Thank you very much for touching the lives of so many students.  As soon as possible, I shall send you the details of the year wise students. 

May God be praised for all you have done and for the efforts you have taken.

 

Will be in touch soon.

 

With affection, gratitude and prayers,

 

Sr. Mary
