May Love Find You Today

Sending love, support, and care. You may not personally know us: we may not personally know you. But, we are connected through time and space by shared experiences, concerns, hope, and wishes for a future where all are safe to be fully themselves. May love find you today.
Love is Love.
— Maureen Truax Holland, Esq (an Obergefell attorney) and Dr. S. Taylor Williams (physician)
