Today, we honor our Veterans who so bravely fought and continue to fight for our freedom. I thank you all.
And today, we also honor a friend, her name was Toni and she was buried today. She was like our amazing Veterans, a tough fighter, but also a woman with the capacity to comfort with just a glance. She fought a tough war against cancer, with a smile and effervescent flair – she was always vibrant and alive. Toni never let fear interfere with life. She inspired me. Toni is someone I will remember.
Au revoir Toni – till we meet again!
