Final Credit

Alayna, you are giving and loving, so very, Alayna, you are compassionate and kind, and this is just a part of what we think of you, because there are so many other thoughts that spring to mind. Because you're also so very loyal, you're genuine to your very core, and we just wanted to say we're proud of you, I guess that's what these words are really for. You're so strong in your convictions, you're a member of National Honor Society, and we just wanted to thank you for being you, you've made our world's a great place to be. You've been awarded the Peace Prize three years running, there's not a more deserving cause on planet Earth, and we, for two, know your true and honest value, yes, we know exactly what our daughter's really worth. You're class president, you've won The Hoby, you volunteer gladly, giving freely of your time, and you've achieved so very much already, you've already put the reason in your rhyme. You're one of the stars in the soup kitchen, and surely one of the stars from the heavens above, we know that we've been blessed to have shared you, we know that we've been blessed with your love. You keep God at your very center, He is there with you, inside your very soul, and we know that it is He that completes you, He is the one that makes you completely whole. Your sister and brother are so proud of you too, you fill all our hearts with this enormous pride, and we all know we couldn't have chosen finer, we know we couldn't - even if we'd tried. And now you may go on to study law, just know, whatever, we're very proud of you, just remember the values that you hold dear, and truly believe in whatever you decide to do. We will love and support you always, we'll pick you up if you happen to scrape your knee, but in the meantime, we just wanted to say Happy Graduation, and thanks Alayna, you make the world a great place to be. We just wanted to thank you for being you, and to encourage you to all that you can become, just know that you're a credit to this family, and that you have one very proud Dad and one very proud Mom.
