Dear Mirella:
Congratulations on receiving the Leah Watson Pritchett Award for 2023. We have been told that you are a selfless member of MY MS Family who volunteers at every event. On many occasions, you have driven members who required mobility assistance to their respective appointments. You have also driven many members to meetings and seminars who, without you, would have been unable to attend and participate. And you have been very helpful by generously using your vehicle to pick up and deliver accessibility equipment.
You have been described, Mirella, as an extremely worthy recipient of this award because of your caring nature, your dedication to the My MS Family organization, and your willingness to donate your valuable time to volunteer at events and to personally help other members. You fully represent the qualities that this award is intended to recognize and to celebrate.
It is very heartwarming for our entire family to know that Leah is remembered so fondly by your membership and that they choose to honour her every year in such a meaningful way. There is never a day that goes by that we don’t think of her constantly and miss her smile, her sense of humour, her courage and determination, and her kind and caring nature.
We are enclosing a small monetary gift for you to add to the certificate. Leah was a great believer in random acts of kindness and in creating a moment of joy in someone else’s day. It is our hope that we have created a moment of joy for you.
Again Mirella……congratulations!
