<p>Nice to see [Cherimie] again in the Island News. My intent with this email is to provide you a sufficient amount of “Praise and Adoration” for you to provide us more of your insightful, well written and socially relevant musings via The Island News. I have always enjoyed your writing and am looking forward to many more. I find it infinitely more enjoyable writing to you than any Representative, national, state or local as I am TOTALLY fed up with them all.</p>

<p>This note is way overdue, but felt the need to send a quick note of appreciation and thanks to Cherimie's article titled “United We Stood.” Her piece moved me to tears. Emotions of pride and grief of what used to be.</p>

<p>I hope members of this community took a minute to let those words resonate within and feel all the feels, remember what was lost, those that have been affected on all levels and hopefully instill a desire to do our parts to help build back up what was once and still is broken.</p>
