I thank God for the gift of music. What a wonderful way to express our gratitude for all he has done for us! Thank you most of all for Jesus.  I will ever sing your praises!

Next, I want to thank Maxine Marshall. When I moved to Nashville, she told me she wanted a copy of my first album. 
I laughed it off at the time, but now, "Here it is, Maxine.
I love you!"

I want to thank Diane Oltman. In grade school, she gave me my first solo in the 4th grade play, and then, as my high school chorus director, she trained me to use my voice properly. Thank you for giving me a good base to build upon.

I want to thank my husband, Tom for all the times he fixed his own meals because I had to go to practice.

I want to thank my children, Scott, Kassie & Clint. Thanks for putting up with my singing in the car on the way to and from school.  More than that, thanks for joining in!

I want to thank my daughter-in-law, Tanisha, who makes up little songs throughout the day.

I want to thank Michael Salacuse.  I don't know how you manage all the late nights in the studio.  I appreciate your willingness to go the extra mile for us.   We couldn't have done this without you.

I want to thank my family at New Testament Christian Church in Keokuk and my family at Franklin Christian Church.  It's impossible to name them all, but you guys are great!

I want to thank Cyndi & Mindy for their patience with me as I learned to play the autoharp and other things.  Thank you for your friendship!

I want to thank Jack and Barbara Jordan. Jack is singing and playing his harmonicas in heaven, but he is still in our hearts.  It is Jack who inspires us, and Barbara who encourages us.

In everything we do, I pray that God may be glorified!

There are always so many people to thank.  People who encourage with words, money and opportunities. Many more than are on this page.  I wish that I could give you all a Great Big Hug!

Thank you, Mom, for the voice lessons, the piano lessons, the guitar lessons, the saxophone and the phone calls...you are always in my heart.

Thank you, Dina, for your sweet heart and for saying that you like my songs better than what's on the radio.

Thank you, KC, for the hugs and kisses, even when I don't deserve them.  You've taught me that love is so much stronger than anger.

Thank you, Don Penrod, for starting me out on my new career as a bass player.  You helped me realize that the love and joy that music gives is so much more important than the skill I bring.

Thank you, Michael Salacuse, for opening musical doors.  Working with you has been an adventure.

Thank you, Mark Wearsch, for your wonderfully wacky addition to my life and the web site.

Thank you, Barbara Jordan, for your ever present encouragement.

Thank you, Mindy and Beth, for putting up with my slight bossiness. You guys make even the hard work fun.

Too many times we pass by people that we need to thank. Growing up, I had so much encouragement and have been blessed with a family that believes in my dreams, the way I do.

Gary, thank you for moving us to Nashville, you are my rock!

Sondra and Sarah, for listening to my music for hours and hours, giving honest opinions and still encouraging me.

Patti, Jackie and Tammy, you are still big influences in my life.  Your sweet words of encouragement keep me going.

Mom and Dad, you have not only supported me emotionally but at times financially, too.  Thank you for that.

Thanks to my baby sister Cheryl for being such a positive influence.   When times get tough, she always reminds me why I live for writing and singing music.

Michael, thank you for your talent with music and production.  A special thanks for pushing me past my limits. Keep up the good work.

Beth and Cyndi for your encouragement and smiles.  Beth, thanks, too, for letting me sleep in the car.

Barbara, for reminding us we can go above and beyond.

Ken, Jolynn, DeWayne, Laura and Valerie.  Thank you for your support.

Most especially, I would like to thank God, for His presence and the talents He shares.  You, Lord, are the reason for Jordan's Angels.
