From Melanie's Mom

I can’t express how much I appreciate all you have done for Melanie and I. I still remember when Melanie auditioned for you. It was around this time of year, she was 9 years old and afraid of you. After several lessons, she realized you were a teddy bear. You have been an inspiration and father figure to Melanie. I can only count a handful of people I’m going to truly miss and you are definitely one of them. I could always count on you to uplift her spirits when she was feeling discouraged. You have believed in Melanie from the beginning.

We will always remember you; hopefully we can prove to you we are sincere. Melanie would not be where she is today without your hard work and dedication. You are a beautiful person and we are blessed to have you in our lives."
