Notable Guest Quotes

“Somebody online got a hold of that (Thank You) note and… somebody from Nashville phoned me in my home and said, ‘This note has song-like qualities in there’ and asked me if I had a journal and they went through my journal and when they went through my journal they were, like, ‘This is like a song, this is like a song’ and then from there it just quickened me and it just seemed to give me new life.”

“Nothing is natural about what has happened to me, seriously.”

“It has been about ten years now since I found out and I, personally, could never speak of it until about two years ago without crying or breaking down.  That’s the truth.  I couldn’t speak to anybody.”
