Here are some reader comments.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Sing A New Song", an excellent book telling a story of love and devotion unmatched in my experience. Please accept my thanks for being willing to share your life with all who will be blessed while reading this publication. Your writing style and flow of words come from a mother's heart; and we the readers are the beneficiaries.

I finished reading "Sing A New Song" and want to tell you I found it not only very well written, but I also found it very inspiring. My wife read it also and she feels the same way!

After reading "Sing A New Song" I must tell you that I bought the book on Thursday and finished reading it on Saturday. Now that is something as I'm no reader! I never read books only short magazine articles. Usually I fall asleep  while reading and it takes me much to long to finish a book. But I didn't want to put "Sing A New Song" down. I was too interested in how each problem was handled or solved. I feel I want to share the book with people right away. Words do not properly express the feelings I have after reading "Sing A New Song" !

Thank you very much for your book "Sing A New Song" ! I had planned to peruse it; however when I started glancing at the beginning, especially the poem, I became intensely interested and read the entire book Sunday afternoon! My daughter is in college getting a degree in Special Education and will be working with handicapped children in the future. The book should be inspirational to her. God Bless You.

I want to thank you sincerely for "Sing A New Song" ! I do appreciate it very much and think you have done a first class job in writing it. The book shows that you have gained a new experience in your life as the mother of Chris... a deeper and more profound life and you will be blessed by God because you are a truly loving and faithful mother!

Over the weekend I read your book "Sing A New Song". You certainly have a beautiful flair for writing and  I was compelled at the end of each chapter to go on. Tears, joys, frustrations and rewards were certainly evident. After reading it I became much more sensitive to the feelings of parents with a retarded child, particularly those who have just received the news that their little one is handicapped. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings...you have helped me more than you'll ever know.

John W. Shyne Jr., Superintendent, Cardinal Cushing School and Training Center, Hanover, MA

Thank you for sending me a copy of your book "Sing A New Song", the story of a mentally retarded boy seeking acceptance, which I am adding to my library. I enjoyed reading about all your children, but especially about Chris. You have my admiration for all you are doing to enhance the understanding and acceptance of children like Chris. I liked the website! With best wishes...

Laura Bush, First Lady, The White House

I received your book in today's mail and have read it from cover to cover; reading some chapters over again. Not only did I find you to be a terrific writer - it is apparent that you are a dedicated mother, which, in my opinion speaks for itself. I look forward to the next book as I am sure all of your readers are also. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
