I like to personally thank all the Foster Grandparents (present and former) for all of their sacrifices to serve the children of the communities throughout Duval County. You are amazing individuals in whom I highly respect and appreciate. May you continue to be true servants in remembrance of our beloved Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
