Jessica Farwell: Perseverance and compassion
I wanted to write in appreciation of the beautiful My Turn by Douglas Mayo (“Overcoming obstacles,” Recorder, July 23). Thank you for sharing your story and journey of perseverance and hope and the ways you continue to live that message and share your wisdom with others.

Thank you for reminding us of the humanity inside every human and the importance of recognizing how each person holds value and is deserving of respect.
