People buy not necessarily because they believe but they buy because they believe that you believe.

George Thank you so much for all your support these past 10 years. I invited you to my convocation because you have been an important part of my life and even if you couldn’t make it, I wanted to let you know that I wanted to share this important moment with you. You’ve always been there to help my family out and it’s always with a smile! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with my family’s finances, therefore allowing my mom to stay home and support me in everything I do. You’ve allowed her to be at every game, every concert, every awards ceremony and banquet. Likewise you have supported me by being my private sponsor, giving me gifts for silent auctions or just giving me your time for 5 minutes while I tell you about something that is special for me. Again, Thank you so much! Love, Caitlin
