Sarahs, Julie, and Sylvia,
strength and solidarity.

00:00:24.530 --> 00:00:26.060 align:middle line:84%
And to all others
who have been here

00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:33.320 align:middle line:84%
to help and make this a
really beautiful welcoming

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:34.970 align:middle line:90%
experience for me.

00:00:34.970 --> 00:00:37.370 align:middle line:84%
And I got to say, I mean,
being Día de los Muertos,

00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:41.660 align:middle line:84%
it is a really special night,
the ancestors are with us.

00:00:41.660 --> 00:00:44.570 align:middle line:84%
And I know my grandparents
would be smiling

00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:47.330 align:middle line:84%
or are smiling right
now, and little Paul's

00:00:47.330 --> 00:00:50.460 align:middle line:84%
smiling right now to
be thinking of this.

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:54.410 align:middle line:84%
So thank you very much for
coming out, making some time

00:00:54.410 --> 00:00:57.130 align:middle line:90%
to be here tonight.
