'Cheers to You and Your Bright Future'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Readers:

"'Whatever your past has been, you have a spotless future' ~Unknown
It is with warmest sincerity that I wish you a bright future filled with opportunity and abundance Damon Quiles. Your story is a great gift to be shared. You may hold the key to inspiring others who have walked similar paths. It is great to know that there are still wonderful, warm and generous people who care deeply and unselfishly for the best interest of others. We all have opportunities in life to make a difference, hold a hand and help to guide. You Damon have the potential, the ability and the compassion of others to support you. I commend the Improta family for their generosity and open hearted kindness. June Gordon is an outstanding administrator with immense talent and understanding of children. She is a woman I admire as she is a force of positivity and benevolent character.
I will gladly make a donation and wish you all the very best life has to offer. Forge your path and create the life you were meant to live, Damon. Cheers to you and your bright future!" —
