Yesterday, at the State of Florida Capitol in Tallahassee, in the Florida House of Representatives, State Representative Scott Plakon paid “A Tribute” to the Widowers Support Network and myself. Scott is himself is a widower (although he too has rediscovered love and has remarried) and is a member of WSN-MO.

I want to publicly thank Scott for the honor he has provided when he took to the floor of the Florida House and addressed those assembled while highlighting WSN many accomplishments.

You can view Scott’s remarks by going to 1.35 time stamp on the attached video. Be sure to zoom in on the “A Tribute” so you can read Scott’s generous words.

Make no mistake, Scott’s message were directed at you, for you have make our ministry what is is today. You volunteered, participated, reached out to one another at a time of need, and so much more.

Some of you have even contributed to our GoFundMe page to help with the expenses of operating WSN. To those who did so, we thank you.

If you would like to volunteer, perhaps joining on of our Special Interest Groups, write a column, write me at [email protected].

For those of you who would like to donate to our operating cost, Go to https://www.gofundme.com/…/pegu7v-widowers-support…

To Representative Scott Plakon …You’re the best. Thank you.
