Memorial Day is a moment where we remember and honor those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

As we near the end of another week, I hope you are staying safe and well. Phase One of Reopen Connecticut is less than a week away, and I am optimistic that we will be able to take these first steps together safely.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all mothers, and for all who nurture others. These challenging times mean we rely on their support now more than ever, and this is the perfect time to show them how much we appreciate them.

It is May Day and I am full of hope for the progress our state will continue to make in the weeks ahead.

I am glad to report that the number of cases of COVID-19 is leveling off, and that our social distancing measures are having a positive impact.

We are coming to the end of another week as we continue to deal with the impact of the Coronavirus. While the loss of life is heartbreaking and the economic effects are profound, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you are doing.

As we approach Passover and Easter, our holiday preparations are most certainly different than ever before.  I hope you are finding ways you can connect with family and celebrate virtually.

As another week comes to a close, I want to send you all my best wishes for health and safety. This pandemic is profoundly affecting us all, and hopefully these updates are of help to you.
