Hey Susie,
Thank you for sharing this beautiful song with us! I had searched
for weeks to find the right piece of music to honor a fellow teacher who has
taught Kindergarten for 33 years (God bless her). She is such an extraordinary
person and nothing seemed to be quite right for someone with her level of
passion and commitment to the field of education. I didn't want just 'any'
song...I wanted THIS song, and fortunately I came across it just a few hours
before the retirement party.
I do believe things happen for a reason and that
day the moon and the stars must have all been in line so I could find this
song.
Thanks again!!! - July 06, 2009 |

What a beautiful song! It fit perfectly for the honoring of folks that are
retiring from the company I work for, some having been with the company for over
30 years. Thanks for sharing it with us so we could pass it on! - June 25, 2009 |

Susie, You have captured my exact feelings and put them into a beautiful and
moving melody. Bless you! You have a God given gift. This is exactly what we
needed to end up our retirment celebration. I am thrilled to have found this
site and your work. I am looking forward to hearing more of your songs. - June 06, 2009 |

My officemate found your song in the web and we used it for an officemeate who
recently retired and has served our university--The University of the
Philippines--for 42 years. We prepared a Photostory presentation with your song
as background music. Your song is really very touching and appropriate for her
who had an indomitable love for our Institute and the University as well. We
truly thank you for your generosity... May you be more blessed in this life!!! - March 30, 2009 |

I wanted to let you know that the DVD and the song
"Goodbye My
Friend" was a great hit at the school
retirement party. I also want to
thank you for your
generosity in allowing me to use the song in a tribute
to
the three retiring teachers. - 2008 |

Dear Susie, Thank you so much for sending me your song.
I used it as the final
song in an mpeg movie I created out of
pictures and video clips from our
retiring teacher's 35
year career. Everyone enjoyed the clips, songs, and the
pictures during the first part of the production and were
smiling and
chatting with each other. Once your song
began, the room grew silent and
everyone was completely
attentive to the production. Then the tears began to
flow! It
was the perfect way to help us summarize the amazing career
of a
truely great teacher. Your song was a beautiful way to
end the production.
Thank you so much for generously
sharing your work with us. Many of the people
at the
retirement wanted to know about you and your work so I
shared your
web site with them. I was excited to share that
you create Christian music in
order to help people come to
know and love Christ in a special way. Thank you
for that
"tool" as another way to reach people for Jesus. Thank You.

I just wanted to let you know that we played "Goodbye my
Friend" at
the retirement party for Henry T. Harden, M.D. last
evening and it was SOOOO
moving! He was very moved,
everyone in the audience (about 100 people) were
very
moved. I did make copies of the DVD/CD for about 8 people
and many more
people asked about the song and where it
came from etc. Thank you so very much
for going the extra
mile to rerecord in our timeframe. Thanks again and many
blessings on this beautiful song! - 2008 |

Thank you very much for allowing me to use your song at my
friend's party.
Everyone loved the song! It was a big hit! The
song was wonderful, it was like
it was written for her! Thanks again. - 2008 |

It's a great song and all the staff thought the words were
perfect for our
friend, Julie. All the lower elementary teachers
were crying at how beautiful
the song is and how perfect the
words were at Julie's retirement party and
they thought I
sang it so pretty too. I have given out your website so that
others can benefit from your beautiful music. - 2008 |

Hi Susie ~ Well, we could never thank you enough for
responding so quickly so
we could use your song for our
friend. It was so powerful, and so perfect!
Shelly copied
enough lyric sheets so we "serenaded" Bonnie with the
song,
through lots of tears of course! She thought we had the
lyrics written
just for her!!! That is how perfect , and
apparently universal, this song is!
Bonnie's 2 daughters
surprised her by coming to the party, and they couldn't
believe how wonderful your song is for their Mom. Funny
thing, I did not
know Bonnie's husband teases her about
being the "Queen" of
everything -- so your lyrics were
certainly on target there too! All told, it
was a gift beyond
measure, thanks to you (Thanks to God) for writing,
recording and mostly ~ thanks for sharing this song. It
touches so many
hearts. Our hearts will always be grateful
for your kindness and talent!
Thanks, and peace to
you always ~ Marie Kinietz and the faculty and family at
St.
Mary School in Marion, OH. - 2008 |

Hi Susie,
Just wanted to let you know that this song had
an amazing effect
at our parent appreciation
breakfast we had this morning in our elementary
school. I am a fifth grade teacher and a fellow
teacher retired after 23
years at our school (34
total teaching years).
I ordered both versions of
the song. I had six
girls in my class who wanted to memorize the
song for
this teacher (most of them had her
as their second grade teacher). We
surprised
'Laura' with an intimate session in her classroom
two days ago
(using the instrumental version).
Of course the song brought her to tears and
she thought we wrote this song just for her
(the lyrics suited her
perfectly). Well, today
we had an appreciation breakfast for the parents.
Several staff members were also at the breakfast.
I produced a DVD to go
along with the song. I
matched most of the lyrics with appropriate
pictures
from the past 20 years. There was
not a dry eye in the entire room. What a
powerful and moving song.
Thank you again for sharing this
beautiful piece
of music. - June 12, 2008 |

Dear Susie,
Just want to let you know how perfect your
song was for the
retirement tea! My daughter
got so many compliments and the teacher
she sang
for, along with his entire family
all had tears in their eyes. After she sang,
the teacher started his speech with, "You know
how to make a guy cry
when you put him into a
room full of people who say nice things about
him,
and then get a girl to sing to you!"
Thanks for doing such a wonderful
job
of writing this song.
Sincerely - June 04, 2007 |

We are holding a retirement party for three
female colleagues one week from
today. We've
searched for the perfect song for months and
finally found it.
Thank you for helping to make
our colleagues' celebration even more
meaningful!
