It was incredible to see so many people come together to celebrate my friend Latanya’s well-earned retirement.

Anyone who knows Latanya, knows the infectious smile she has.  Her smile is her virtue, and has brightened my day and shifted my perspective more times than I can count over the years.

After 34 years of dedicated service with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, she has left a lasting impact on everyone she’s worked with. I hope retirement brings her all the joy and peace she deserves.  Congratulations, Latanya!
