Aaron Condida, your talents as a photographer never go unnoticed or unappreciated thank you for donating that talent once again. @Keenan Powers, theres nothing glorious or fun about sitting in front of a bar door for hours checking I.D.s and collecting money but you did it anyway and when you were compensated for your time, you donated every penny to our cause. Thank you for providing the comfort and relief of knowing someone I trust completely was covering the door and more importantly thank you for your selflessness and generosity. @John Moncivais, you took the time to learn a specific song just for this event and you sat and waited patiently all night for an opportunity to play it and you did this purely out of the kindness of your heart and your love of music. Unfortunately, once the ball got rolling it was like a freight train and you never got the opportunity to play that song and I hope you know I am deeply sorry for that and can accept my sincerest apology. I also hope this doesnt deter you from coming out and performing with us in the future because you are an incredibly talented musician and I truly enjoy sharing the stage with you.

Thank you for being there when I thought the stress, pressure and fear of failing at this, would make me explode. I love you. Last but certainly far from least, Debra Ann, somehow someway you and I share the same soul. In an unromantic yet the truest sense of the term, you and I are soul mates. I can honestly say that if it werent for you I would have crumbled under the pressure on Sunday. There is no way to put into words how much you helped me get through it or how much you mean to me in general and I find that incredibly frustrating so for now all I can say is I love and adore you and thank you for everything. Debbi Fisher, you are incredibly strong but everyone needs help sometimes and I truly hope that in some way a small amount of the burden has been lifted off of your shoulders and you can breathe just a little bit easier. So many people have proved that they love you and support you and you are not alone.
