"I just wanted to say thanks so much for supporting my ideas and helping when needed.  For me it was amazing." ... "I really wish you all could’ve been up on the stage to see it from our point of view.  When the candle lights went out like a wave over the sea and when everyone just stood to watch the slides it was beautiful.  Thanks again for the opportunity and support."

"I wanted to share what a great time I had at our 10th annual American Cancer Society's RELAY FOR LIFE here in Santa Clarita.  I had the honor of speaking at the Luminaria Ceremony in front of hundreds of people.  What an amazing experience standing on stage and looking out at the sea of lights.  It was an emotional and inspirational moment I will never forget.  Jerry, you rock for organizing such a poignant evening.
 
Thank you to all my family and friends who came out in support of our Cancer Princess Team this weekend. Thank you to those who donated to the American Cancer Society in my honor. I have never felt more loved."

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Captain’s Council.  The lack of sleep, body aches, and worrying that nobody will show up and walk from my team are all forgotten as I’m already thinking about next year’s Relay.  I always thought I came from a small family, now I realize I’m part of a much bigger family, the Relay For Life family.  As in most families, when someone is in need family is there for support.  You are my family and I will always be there to support you."

"Jerry ... Just wanted to thank you for the best Luminaria Ceremony ever!  I'm sure you spent more hours that I can imagine putting it all together and I wanted to let you know that the feedback I got was amazing.  You touched so many hearts and people were mesmerized.  Thank you for making the Luminaria Ceremony special again!"

"A sincere thank you to the Event Chairs for leading the way to a successful Relay.  2008 will go down in Relay history as the one to beat, it was awesome!  What I noticed, more than anything else this year, was the positive attitudes and the overall happiness of those who attended/volunteered or participated. That alone was worth the price of admission.....oh...right.....it's free.....even better.  Thank you for setting the bar so high and to everyone else for meeting it."
