"Throughout your 34-year career at Southern State Community College, you have demonstrated an unwavering dedication to performing your duties and fulfilling your responsibilities with the utmost professionalism and competence," the certificate read. ..."You have given willingly of your time, energy and abilities far beyond what was required or expected and have earned the respect and admiration of all those with whom you have worked.
