Testimonial

"..has healed many people"

“Cherish, the gift that God has given to you has healed so many people. I often read the poem you wrote for my daughter Haley at her home-going and it just brings tears to my eyes on how the words are just so fitting for her, and how it represents her so much. It is not tears of pain, but it is tears of joy. Your words bring healing to such hard, horrible situations. Just keep doing what God has called you to do and many, many, many people will be blessed from your gift."
