    Melinda…
    The smile that lights up your face, each gesture of your head as you dance, and your ever-selfless disposition bring joy to my life. In your presence is a simple JOY! You inspire me to enjoy life as I see you constantly do and i love you for all you have given to everyone around you. For each ounce of loveliness and artistry you display by dancing, I’m sure is an equal part for writing, which you will be amazing at portraying through your book. You are a wholesomely amazing person, I am enlightened and inspired by the trueness of your heart!

    a plethora of love,
    Janey

    Dear Melinda,
    Oh my gosh Melinda you are a true gift of happiness to me and everyone that surrounds you from God. Everytime I see you, you are smiling which makes me smile. You are such an inspiration to all you surround. Espcially me! You have overcome the impossible. When you dance it is like an angel from heaven dancing! Oh my goodness you are soooo beautiful at it! At dance if I am having a bad day you always brighten it up with your kind words and love. You have soo much love in your heart that you share with me which I am thankful for. I couldn’t live without you! I hope your family is doing well and you of course! I love you Melinda!!!

    Love,
    Meggie

    P.S. I love your blog!

    P.S.S. Once your book comes out I am going to buy a plethora of copies!!!! :)

    Melinda,

    You were so completely awesomely beautifully graceful tonight (as always). I hope you are snoozing away and getting some rest after all that hard work.

    Not only was your dancing stunning but the number you choreographed was stunning – my oh my, what talent. The future looks very bright from where I was sitting!

    Love you!
    Cecile

    Melinda, I am truly touched by your incredible story. I am thinking of you as an inspiration for me. You came to my school last month, Mesa Middle School. Thank you so much for taking the time to see us! I loved your book and wish I could buy a copy for myself, but sadly I am broke :)
    I am going to do a book report on Grace, and I am not the only one that wanted to! I know you will continue to inspire people every. After reading your book, I felt like I really knew you as a person. You ARE that good of a writer!
