I have known how strong a person you are since the first time we met 3 1/2 years ago. Having visited you in the hospital after what I believe was your second operation, further showed me your strength.

Watching your videos has given me more of an in depth understanding of what a wonderful person you are and what you have gone through. You truly are an inspiration and one of the best advocates for oral cancer awareness. I am proud to call you my friend and am truly a blessed by your friendship.
