You amaze me. You inspire me. There is nothing like watching you onstage and seeing you be such a true person. Talent like yours is rare and so special. Even more than that, you are such a good, kind, warm, and caring human in real life. Your friendship is one to be counted on. You lift up the people around you with such ease and, in your quiet and unassuming way, you offer encouragement and support simply with your presence. You can always make me smile. I am so grateful to know you and get the gift of working with you. You will go so far in life and I can’t wait to see it happen.

You are fire, light, and life.  You bring me laughter, a sense of ease.  You remind me to not take life so seriously all the time.  You are a true artist; I see your heart in all you do.  I know you're going to achieve great things -- whatever you choose to do in life will be great, because you have the strength and determination to make it that way.  I admire you deeply and I am so lucky to call you a colleague and friend.
