What a thrill…
To be on August 9…at the University in Gainesville !

Trixie I am proud of you…
But then…I always knew…

With your ambition…
You would probably become an Academician.

I had hoped this day would arrive
While your Bempa was still alive.

But in spirit he is here…
Listen… and you can hear him cheer…

The accomplishment of his little Trixie.
While his eyes are a bit misty…

Trixie you now have the tools to face the challenge
And keep your life in balance.

And I wish you my dear….
a fabulous career.

Enclosed for you to spend…
A monetary present.

On this special day
From “Oma” Marie Jose.
