Deller, others make lives better for kids, families

I want to thank The Herald and Kristi O’Harran for the recognition of Bill Deller (“Kids always come first for volunteer Bill Deller,” Oct. 29). He truly represents the best of qualities – giving of his time and talents for the benefit of those in need. The volunteers in the Foster Care Citizen Review Board and the Volunteer Guardian Ad Litem Program have provided the court with invaluable information and insight.

Because of their efforts and determination, the court is in a better position to make decisions affecting the lives of the children and families that come before it. The citizens of Snohomish County are truly blessed to have these fine men and women volunteer their time and efforts for such a worthwhile cause. Thank you one and all.
