It is with deep sadness that we learn of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family for the loss of their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

We will remember the Queen with great affection, and gratitude for her extraordinary dedication and service to the people of the UK, the Commonwealth, and the world over the last 70 years. Her contribution is unparalleled, and we will mourn her enormous loss.
