Dear Friends,
As Floridians across our great state take time this weekend to honor their mothers, I extend best wishes for a happy and joyous Mother's Day. It is important for us to thank mothers, as well as sisters, aunts and grandmothers, who share their commitment and their great hearts to lovingly care and provide for the children and young people in their lives.
We appreciate the tireless commitment of mothers to nurturing young hearts and minds and enabling them to discover the talents and strengths that will lead to a successful future. We are grateful for the sacrifices mothers make as they share their strength with their families and equip them to stand strong in the face of life's difficulties.
To those mothers who have offered loving and safe homes by welcoming children who need a permanent home, thank you for giving a child the opportunity to dream and hope and receive a solid foundation for life.
May God bless the mothers throughout Florida.
