I would like to express my sincere thanks to my LLCC family for the cards and expressions of sympathy that were extended to me and my family at the passing of my father. I would especially like to thank everyone in the Health Professions department for the lovely angel statue. It is a wonderful remembrance and will be treasured. I am truly blessed to work with such caring and compassionate individuals. Thank you so much!

I would like to thank everyone for the sympathy cards, flowers, and emails regarding the passing of my father.  I was very touched from the outpouring of support from my LLCC family and it truly makes a difficult time a little easier to bear!  Thank you so much!
