I wish to express my heartfelt thanks for all the cards, gifts and well-wishes in honor of my retirement. I have been blessed to work with so many wonderful, dedicated individuals throughout my career at LLCC as we strived to improve the lives of the many students we served. As I embark on a new chapter of my life, I wish all of you and the college great success.
Thanks for all the wonderful memories!
Diane Clark
