Kristeen - Dear Jen,

I would like to thankyou, thank you for the wonderful and inspiring person you are.

I dont know you, I’ve followed you since the bullying incident. I love photography, never even picked up a camera until my trip earlier this year to the UK and Europe. I now know the joy of looking at pictures that are colourful, peaceful, beautiful and fun. I’m old now tho, ;) probably too old too start a career. Lol. I have gained a lot of perspective and insight from the photos you post, you do an amazing job of this.

Its been a long year for us, my husband is fighting cancer, the year has been fraught with worry and fear……. But I follow your page, listen to the joy in your heart, respect your efforts and ethics, and now shed a tear over your sister, and
by the way, its a gorgeous photo of the two of you, you look so happy to be
with each other. ;)

My wish is for you and your pretty special husband and gorgeous daughter to have a wonderful Christmas and may 2012 bring you good health and continued joy in your work. Please continue to inspire, ;) I will continue to follow your fb page, to offer as much as support as a stranger can. ;)

Sincerely, Kristeen

Jackie - What a wonderful tribute to your sister. In this first Christmas season without my Mom (who was my biggest fan & cheerleader) I wanted you to know how much you inspire & encourage me. Thank you.

Samantha Ferguson - I wish I could give you a big hug, even though we have never met. I miss my sister too and think of the very same things every year. She died over 20 years ago and I still think of her every single day.
