Pat,
I am your new found cousin and fan. I'm Thomas Strickland's wife that met you at your home and bought my signed copy of your book a few months ago. I read your book months ago and absolutely loved it. I've been meaning to contact you and let you know this. I have passed my love for the book and your writing skills on to many. I have encouraged them to buy their own copy. One of my daughters is reading it currently and loves it as well. Our church is near old town Florissant and she wants me to drive her through there as she recognizes many of the land marks. I was at the airport last week at the bookstore in the east terminal and saw your card at the check out counter. I heard you'd be doing a book signing there soon. I raved about your book while there and encouraged them to buy maximum copies. Of course I had to tell them that the authors is MY cousin. Seeing your card there and having my daughter Whitney reading the book as we speak reminded me to send you this note. Can't wait to buy my copy of Talk To Me!!
Love,
Your new Cousin and Fan
Cheryl
