Congratulations Stefan on your Graduation as a Neuro Science Graduate. It’s an incredible moment for YOU and for our entire family as you Climb one more step on the ladder of Success.

Every Parents Dream is to share special days like these with their Children. Since you left us 4 years ago to pursue your studies and dreams, we looked forward to the memorable moments when you would Graduate and to share that special day with you; to see you in your Graduates gown; to see you walk on the stage; receive your Graduation Certificate; to take the traditional family photographs… all the plans that we had made to Celebrate the day together, have been shattered because of Covid19.

“Let Today be the start of a fantastic Adventure for you. Take Pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you can go. We wish you Strength and Wisdom to face the challenges, as you step into another phase of your life. Learn from your mistakes, chase and pursue your dreams, never stop trying and learning. Work Hard, stay humble and be kind.”

Stefan, as you grew up over the past 22 years, you gave us so many reasons to be proud of the man that you have become today, but the Proudest moment for us as you reach another Milestone, is telling others that “THIS IS OUR BELOVED SON”.

WISHING YOU NOTHING BUT THE VERY BEST IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. WE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE BY YOUR SIDE TO HELP AND SUPPORT YOU. CONGRATS DEAREST AND DARLING SON. WE LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL.
