I write to thank you once again for your remarkable gift of inspired and inspirational performance. Our family, our synagogue, and the Jewish community of South Bend will long remember the excitement and pleasure engendered by your music, song, and dance. What an ineffable sensation of joy at the close of a wonderful day of celebration in honor of Elena! You will be in our hearts and thoughts for a long time to come; indeed for as long as we live. Thank you!  - Lionel J. Father of the bat mitzvah, September 2006
