Her Majesty The Queen,

What a loss to endure! Oh, how YOU shall be missed!

Your Royal Compass led to exceptional decades of service cherished by millions around the world.

Your beauty was exquisite, your poise … divine, your influence … immaculate and your strength absolutely solid.

As our Queen, your light sense of humour proved how much you did not take yourself too seriously, which humanized you.

As you said 20 years ago, “Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God” …. and, so shall we emulate in our unique ways.

You and your legacy will forever remain in our hearts, thoughts and prayers for lifetimes to come.

May you rest in peace and power. Amen.

And, to the Royal Family, the people of Britain, all members of the Commonwealth, our University of London community and those who continue to love you, globally, my sincerest condolences go out to you all, as we mourn Our Beloved Monarch’s death together.

With Profound Love, Deep Sympathy & Great Admiration,
