I love the National Portrait Gallery and am excited that you have been chosen. I love the painting, but especially love the fact that your volunteers and staff are with you as it is always a team effort. Thank you for everything you do.

When I recently saw the painting at the gallery, I noticed the artist gave him a halo, somewhat subtle that I believe speaks to your humbleness. You are so deserving!!!💕

This is a wonderful painting and you deserve this honor so much. I hope it will inspire many others, especially young people to follow your example of giving and caring for those in need all over the world. Thank you to Kadir Nelson. I can’t wait to go see this.
