We are all facing a situation that defies the imagination. An unseen enemy has emerged that knows no borders, is life threatening and is spirit wrenching. We seek comfort in the presence of others but are told to distance ourselves from one another. We fear for our families, our children, and ourselves. We want to return to a time before this all happened but it seems we cannot - yet.

And then we have choices to make, choices of making decisions that would benefit ourselves and others. A chance to act for the greater good that of course comes back to benefit ourselves as well. We are a great nation. We are a great people. We will persevere and this too shall pass.

There is an abundance of information that you can find online at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/home and Connecting people with COVID-19 information and resources. 15 Days to Stop the Spread is also a helpful government publication.

The practice of social distancing and Governor Cuomo's Executive Order requires our office to be closed at our physical location but our phones are always answered. I have always been and will continue to be available remotely until this emergency is over and I have always been there to assist our clients over the last 43 years. Everyone please take care, stay well, God bless us all and especially our medical professionals, police & fire departments and everyday service people who are in harms way everyday.
