Like millions of others across the country and around the world, I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of our Queen, Elizabeth II.

Elizabeth became Queen at the age of 25, when her father died unexpectedly in 1952. She has since been a pillar of strength for our country for seven decades.

She has been an icon in every sense of the word. She will be remembered for her strength, her compassion, and her tireless dedication to our country and its people.

Rest in peace, Your Majesty. Thank you for everything.

God Save the King!
