Dear Family,

I was privileged to know Dr. Player and to work with some of her mentees. It was pleasing to see how much dignity and poise she demonstrated in her leadership not only of the College but in many other activities where she served.

May her legacy throughout the land be preserved for those yet unborn.

God Bless you all. We regret we can not attend the service.
