Hi Sara! Thanks for adding me! I miss choir so much, and just chatting... So it was great to see you at the folk festival today! I love to hear you sing! I'll talk to you soon! Love,Ellen
My Dear Sara, It was wonderful meeting you in New York. Your music makes me weep. Good weeping. If only your song "Is It For Freedom?" were the national anthem this country would be a good place. Everyone, if you agree call your congress person. I think Dennis Kucinich would agree. I think Sara deserves the Medal Of (Is it For) Freedom. Sara, Maybe we can sing together one day. I hope.
You empower me with you songs Sara! We are Women-I, after 4 hours on repeat still manage to tear up, but I now feel like being home with the girl's is still a very important JOB! I feel so blessed to have you in my life, Give Paula my love-I miss you and my favorite Aunt terribly.....I hope to see you again soon! And thank You again times a million for the music that came to me-It really does mean the world! Love You Stephanie
I have never actually been able to see you play. My mom actually saw you and brought me back 2 of you cds. I enjoy the melodies and the spirituality in your music. :)
Well hello pretty lady! Are you enjoying the start to your summer? You know...It's always summer here in San Diego-just if you ever have the winter blues =) Miss you TONS! XOXOXO Stephanie
So once again, I have been nothing short of amazed and delighted! You are my saving grace on these restless nights. I don't like to rely on ANYTHING at bedtime, but your music is more than welcome in the "pink palace"! Gilliahn and Gabriella have been sick, both in need comfort at bed time, I can't always deliver. And thanks to their two wonderful- loving "double Aunts", and Ami, we have achieved success. Sound asleep.....Thank-You for the help-even if we are an entire country apart! I Love You guys, and I miss you terribly. But it is what it is, and I hope to see you soon.
Very bummed that I missed you on Sunday, we've been sick with the 6 week cold and pneumonia! Although I heard a rumor about a new spring release? YIPPEE!!
How are my 2 favorite ladies doing? I miss you guy's like crazy and I can't wait to see you again! Gabby & Gilliahn listen to you every day at nap time, it's the "night-night" song that does it, well thats what they call it =) I Love You, give my love-ly Aunt a kiss for me!
