State Representative Vic Gilliam:

Thank you for the honor to serve as your State Representative. I still marvel as I walk (perhaps not as smoothly now) through the rotunda of our State Capitol to our district office. But if symptoms should make it too difficult to continue, I will leave with the greatest love for this State and our District and celebrate our optimism for the future.

Powerful words. It's worth reading the full letter.
