Brian W. and Jeffrey Allen. You two are unbelievable. Your resolve and fierce determination fixed the UN-fixable. How do I thank you for your efforts on my well? You gave us running water again, Thank you!!

Dennis and Marian H. For being not only wonderful parents, but for being my friends, my confidants, and two of my favorite people. Thank you for a lifetime of support!! You have been my shelter from the storm. We laugh together, we cry together, and the love I have for you cannot be measured!!

Natalie Eichler. You are my hero for so many reasons. You will never know how beautiful you truly are in every way. You are the best sister on the planet! I love you!!

Joanne Gehm, I have known you since I was a little girl. More than anyone in my life, you have shown me what unconditional love is. I have watched you grow in ways that astound me. It is with you I share my deepest secrets, my insecurities, my fears, and my triumphs. In times of weakness you've been my strength. In times of joy, we've laughed so hard it hurt! Thank you for being my dearest confidant, and trusted and loyal friend. I am grateful for the rare bond that we share. I will always love you!

Robert Gehm. Rob, You got my first page up and running so that I could communicate with potential customers. Thank you for all of your efforts, you're awesome!

Hannah Buchanan. Hannah, we had some bumpy times for certain, but we resolved our differences and found a way to become friends. We shared some poignant moments in the SO house, and out on the porch on your graduation night - there was a peace between us. It's a shame SO didn't show it. Thank you for calling me to make sure I was okay. For sharing, for listening, for giving good advice and for forever encouraging me. You are intelligent, engaging, funny and very, very brave! I'm very proud of you!

John and Bill. You two have helped me so much ... from painting the high spots on my house to killing the weeds in the pasture. John, you fixed my car for me when it was broken down and I could not have gone to Chicago without your support. Bill, what can I say? Your kindness will never be forgotten! Thank you both and also to Gerald. You were all very kind to think of my family and bring by fresh grown produce. I will never forget your generosity.

Dan and Sharon K. You two are some of nicest people I've met in my lifetime. You let Hope stay with you when I went to the Kentucky Derby. You took excellent care of her, and I knew she was safe. You're both gracious and generous, and neither Hope nor I will ever forget your kindness.

James and Deanne S. You two are so great together! James, you brought water to my house in the back of your truck when the well stopped working. You watered my horses and asked nothing in return. Deanne, you are a rare sort of woman. You stand out from the rest because you are secure in yourself. You have a phenomenal singing ability and I hope you continue to cultivate that. Thank you both for being so kind.

Lynn R. For being a constant witness to what a woman can be. I admire your strength, your loyalty and your selflessness. I think you're amazing. You are beautiful in so many ways. I value your friendship.

Peggy H. I have known you since High School. You are steadfast, faithful and kind. What can I say? How crazy did I drive you with all of my phone calls for advice? Obviously, I value your opinion. Thank you for being such a constant in my life. Your family is a blessing to me. Jeffery and you have done an amazing job... 6 children and counting (better you than me!!) I will never forget sharing stories into the late hours with you all around the bonfire. Those are priceless moments. They are what the best things in life are made of, and you all represent that for me. Thank you!

Joy & Faith. Thank you for helping me with my business cards & my web site. It is a bit humbling to have Nieces who are more proficient at the English language than I, but I must say that I am very proud of you both. You are lovely young women!! You are gifted and beautiful in so many ways. You have both inspired me with your wonderful artwork and your soothing piano playing. You are truly amazing!! I love you both!
