Dear Kitty, I may be one of the most unlikely persons you’d expect to comment on your music. I am a born-again Christian. I’m certainly not bragging. I am simply one of those great sinners, saved by God’s grace. A few weeks ago, I believe on your birthday, I was bored and flicking through channels. Somewhere between Discovery Channel, Nick at Night, and myriad music channels I found you…performing on EWTN. I hope I have that spelled right. I honestly stopped what I was doing and just listened to this Angel sing for the Lord. Honestly? I had to double-check to confirm it was the “Catholic Channel”, as I always called it. I am very much into Contemporary Christian performers, so this music could not possibly be coming from a Catholic, could it? (And I thought I wasn’t judgmental of other faiths)…*Sorry. Kitty, you are an amazing creation. God has truly blessed you. One thing that struck me as I listened to you was that your voice is so perfect. Literally every time I hear you sing, it brings a real sense of peace..a physical feeling..through my whole body. I can’t say I have ever “felt” music before as I do yours. After your performance I went online and found your web site. I immediately purchased your Surrender CD. I have a friend I have worked with for a very long period of time. Donna Lost her 19 year old daughter Jenny in January 2005 through suicide. It has been a very emotionaly painful time for her. I saw her at work 2 weeks ago and told her about your music. Last Friday I received the CD and saw Donna for the brief 2 hours a week we work together. I asked her to follow me to my car so she could hear the CD. I told her to close her eyes and just listen. I played “You are Mine”. When the song was over, she was very quiet. Her response was, “She sounds like an angel, and the song sounds to me like a song I would hear when I stand before the Lord…I can hear him say that to me.” I was very gracious and allowed her to borrow the CD. I saw her yesterday and she told me that since Jenny died she has not been able to sleep. She usually listens to music with head phones to try to relax. She said on a whim she used the CD to really listen to the words, and for the past 5 days goes to bed listening to your music. She said she feels so at peace listening to your music and can now fall asleep. I truly believe God is teaching us that labels mean little in the scope of eternity. In the end it is our commitment to Christ and our love for mankind and Him that will allow us a place with him for all Eternity. A very heartfelt thank you for sharing the gift of your music, and your faith in the Lord is shown through your music. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I read that your dad’s faith in God was strengthened through his adversity. What a testament he is for God’s love, mercy, and faithfulness. I know He is in the presence of the Lord he “surrendered” to…for all eternity. Well I got pretty long here…sorry…I just wanted to let you know what a blessing you are to everyone, not just Catholics! How sad we spend so much of our lives arguing about our differences rather then celebrating the many things we do have in common. Maybe we can explore the possibility of a benefit concert someday here in Pennsylvania(Near Hershey). I am open to any ideas you may have, Kitty. Keep singing, I’ll keep listening. I look forward to your next CD.
