Dear Editor:
As a community we have demonstrated an incredible force of solidarity when presented with the thought of one of our citizens in despair. The compassion and love shown by everyone involved is commendable to say the least.
On behalf of the Patel family I would like to personally thank the residents, local business owners, cultural organizations as well as media and law enforcement officials for their relentless support and assistance in locating Minkish Patel.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are moments in time one can be proud of and this is definitely one of them.
Once again thank you.
