Congratulations to everyone who received an award, and a great job to all of those who were nominated! It is great to see such wonderful and dedicated people are a part of your service. Keep up the great work! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
I want to thank Robert and all of the Redmond EMS Professionals for this recognition. I may not see each of you every day but so many of you have been there for me during some of the worst times of my life. We have also had some laughs and good times. I think of you all often and wish each and every one nothing but the best in all your endeavors. Love and best wishes – “Mama Jean”
