Hi Kitty,
My name is Crystal. I was at the women's retreat this weekend with my mother, and several other friends. My mother stopped briefly to speak to you and relay how much she loved your voice, and that she uses your Rosary cd on a weekly basis. At the time I did not realize who you were. After we walked off she told me who you were, and reminded me of how your music had touched my life & got me through a very difficult time. I tried locating you again, but could not find you (imagine that!).
On August 14th, 2007, my mother rode with me while I drove my then 2 and a half year old to Children's Hospital. We were fairly sure he would be diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes. Immediately when we got in my vehicle she put on your cd, with "This Thorn" on it. A week later I was driving home from the hospital, in a fog, not certain of what lay ahead. The only thing I knew for sure was our lives had just been turned upside down and I did not know how I would be able to effectively take care of my son. The first song I remember hearing on the ride home was "This Thorn". I was immediately struck by your faith in this song. I listened to this song exclusively for several days. It became my own prayer to God. I can say, without a doubt, that your song helped to me get through this very difficult time, and helped me to completely put my trust in God! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT GIFT!
I hope to see you again at a CCRNO function, or at one of your concerts so I can thank you in person.
God Bless, Crystal
