Thank you so much for everything! You are such a blessing and your heart comes through in all that you do. I appreciate you. I cannot say enough good things about you and Mr. Jackson how you both went many extra miles on my behalf and I have a feeling that that’s just how you roll-excellence! I can not say thank you enough. I will say that your treasures are stored up in Heaven. And wow! So kind of Joye Law Firm. Seriously warms my heart, especially in these uncertain times. Such a great message that kindnesses prevail. We forget many things but we remember kindness. I’m not surprised at all though because you all are kind and thoughtful people who are serving there every single day.
