Dear Dad/Papa, Congratulations on 40 years of service, dedication

and loyalty to Legal Aid Service of Broward County!

You have been a tireless advocate for the most forgotten of our community:

the poor, the mentally ill, the abused, the children and all victims of gender and racial inequities.

You have always been there for us –

steady, calm, patient – our mentor and role model. You coached our teams, helped us with homework

and even taught us how to drive.

Now, that we have children of our own, we can only hope that we can be as loving and supportive

as parents as you have always been to us.

You have always been our hero. We Love You! James, Lina, Will, Lily &Sofia,

Katherine, Daniel & Erik Kimi, Steve & Thomas

40 Years 1976 - 2016

P.S. Congratulations to my husband – a man dedicated to his life’s work, to me and to our family. Love, Cheryl

TONY KARRAT

As a great leader, you have transformed your vision for civil legal justice in Broward County into reality.

Every single day you inspire your staff, your colleagues and the community

to work harder and do better to achieve legal equality for those who would otherwise be denied equal justice and access to the courts.

Congratulations on your first 40 years!

With Love,

The Family Law and Domestic Violence Unit

Scott, Congratulations upon receiving

The Spirit of Justice Award

Your loving parents, Donald and Betty Owens
