Elizabeth A.

Dear Elizabeth,
I do not think there is anyone in this entire world nicer than you. You are literally the nicest person I have ever met. I know a lot of people probably tell you that (believe them, it's true), but I really do mean it. I have never met someone with such grace and kindness. You have a sweetness about you that you can't help but love. I can literally picture you strolling through the woods singing with the birds, the image fits you. You have a kindness that just radiates from your very being and others are drawn to you because of you. I knew you would be a wonderful friend. I knew you were nice just from looking at you. I remember my mom coming to find me at parent's dinner and saying, " That girl, right there, the pretty blond one, she looks SO nice you need to talk to her! You should be friends with her, I like her!" My mom is an excellent judge of character. :) You have such a beautiful spirit about you. I have never met someone how cares for people in such a fun, kind, and genuine way. I am so thankful that you are my friend and that I have had the chance to receive that kindness. You have touched this choir with your love and God's love that shines through you. You always were there to warm my heart with a smile, a hug, your excited nature, and an encouragement whenever I needed it. Thank you for all of your kind words to me through the course of this year. From sectionals, to choir, to opera, to other classes, and just as your friend. I am so thankful for everything you have done for me and by smiling, being such a happy person, always brightened my day and inspired me to be the same way. I love you very much. You brought so much joy to this choir and I know you touched everyone else's life just as much as your touched mine. I loved watching you, Joanna, and Katherine become so close. I am so glad that you three are such good friends! I love you three to death, I can't even tell you. Thank you for being so focused in sectionals and always making me feel special. It meant so much to me and I don't think I every properly thanked you or Joanna for that. You are so incredibly talented and your voice is gorgeous! I have loved getting to hear your sing and watch you grow as a young woman and a musician. I know God is going to use your gifts in many incredible ways. Enjoy these next few years, they are some of the best years you will ever have and a true gift. You are beautiful on both the inside and the outside. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your life and being a wonderfully true friend to me. Your excitement in seeing me all the time, especially when I came back to visit school (yes, I'm writing this letter pretty late, but they were just so emotionally difficult! Plus, I had so much to say!). That was so sweet and so encouraging! It really made me feel so incredibly special and loved, I really needed that. It was nice meeting that boyfriend of yours. He seems so sweet, I am so happy for you! I hope to get to see both you and him again and get to know him better. I know we will not lose contact, Elizabeth, you are too good of a friend and you mean too much to me for me to ever lose you from my life. I love you and I miss you! Thank you again for always being the wonderfully delightful and sweet you! God Bless!
Love always, Christina
