Mary, I am so impressed with how you presented my life experiences. I have received so many positive comments regarding your article. You are an amazing writer and I am forever indebted to you!

Mary, wow!!!!! I just read the article you wrote about our sale of the restaurant business. Thank you for such a fabulous job with the interview information. You’re really good at what you do!!! I’m impressed!!!!

Mary I absolutely loved the article in “The Way We Were.” I have enjoyed being a Celeb. The story was so well written and my friends in  San Marco and the Beaches saw it also. Everyone loves The Resident so it was an honor to be featured. I am already looking forward to future publications.
Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful article Mary wrote about me and my volunteer work in the community. We had a great talk over the phone, I sent her some pics and notes . . . I was very pleased with the article and I believe it captured my life and my vocation very well. I have had numerous phone calls from out-of-town to my preacher calling to say how much they enjoyed. Too many times we don’t thank those that have done outstanding work and Mary fit the bill. My sincere thanks to you, Mary.

Mary, I just wanted you to know how pleased I was with the end result. You got it all down, and in an excellent manner. One of the friends has known me about 40 years, and she was excited about how well it captured the “me” she knows . . . It was delightful to have had our conversation, and I am very pleased with the result.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your article in the Resident about my parents. Your words captured their love story so beautifully! You wove their history into the story and even I felt like I was hearing it for the first time. As a writer myself, I appreciated how you were able to mix the facts with the words of their interview. It’s not an easy task to bring a story to life when you don’t know the people you write about. This is a gift that goes beyond the pen and paper and you have that gift. Thank you for memorializing my incredible parents between these two pages with your words. It is truly an honor to have you author this event!

Thank you for an excellent article! We’re hearing from friends we haven’t seen in a long time. Even our kids said they learned stuff about us they didn’t know.

Just a word of thanks for the nice article you wrote about me and Larry. We have received many compliments on the story, with several comments on how nicely written it was. So thanks again.

The article was great and have had so many friends and acquaintances come up to me about it. You did a great job!

I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful article you wrote about me in this edition of the Resident News. For the past few days since its publication I have received non stop mentions in person and in social media as well as texts and emails about how great the article is.

You made me look so well in the eyes of our community that for the time being I feel like a local rock star!

Thank you for your exquisite writing, we certainly appreciate very much the work that you do for our community and also kudos to [the publishers] for bringing on board such a wonderful writer like you to their publication.

Sincerely thankful.
