Dear Fitz,
I will always feel blessed and indebted to you for the wonderful example and influence you have been on my life.
As your missionary companion you taught me humility, kindness, the value of a good sense of humor and that dogs love cheese. I will forever remember attending Catholic Mass with you in Alliance Ohio and how it strengthened my testimony of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I wish you a happy birthday and know that you have blessed the lives of many people. You are a fantastic person and I hope your next 50 years are the best years of your life.
Sincerely
Russ Wilding
