Thank you from Shawn Allen

I would like to thank everyone for the emails, cards, texts and phone calls I received following the passing of my mother, Virginia Melton. Thank you also to everyone that came to her visitation and funeral. It truly meant a lot to me. Thank you to the Foundation, The Board of Trustees, Faculty and Staff for the beautiful plant you sent. I appreciate your support during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Shawn Allen
